[libvirt] [PATCH] util: return generic error in virCopyLastError if error is not set

[Nikolay Shirokovskiy]

virCopyLastError is intended to be used after last error is set.
However due to virLastErrorObject failures (very unlikely through
as thread local error is allocated on first use) we can have zero
fields in a copy as a result. In particular code field can be set
to VIR_ERR_OK.

In some places (qemu monitor, qemu agent and qemu migaration code
for example) we use copy result as a flag and this leads to bugs.

Let's set copy result to generic error ("cause unknown") in this case.
Approach is based on John Ferlan comments in [1] and [2] to initial
attempt which fixes issue in much less generic way.
