Explicitly error on uri=qemu://system
It's a fairly common error that a user tries to connect to a URI
like qemu://system or qemu://session (missing a slash). This errors
like:
$ virsh --connect qemu://session
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Unable to resolve address 'session' service '16514': No address associated with hostname
If you already know that the standard qemu URI has 3 slashes, that
error will make it obvious enough. But new user's may not get it.
There's even a RHEL support page explicitly mentioning it!:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Virtualization_Deployment_and_Administration_Guide/sect-Troubleshooting-Common_libvirt_errors_and_troubleshooting.html
Catch this error early in libvirt.c virConnectOpen for qemu (and vbox
which has similar rules
