In cases when we call a libvirt helper which reports an error the error
would be hidden unless libvirt library debug is on. This produces a lot
of output and is hard to debug.

The helper provides a way to dispatch the libvirt error in specific
cases sice we do already dispatch it in case when virTestRun is used.
