Libguestfs - Jun 2018 - [PATCH] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Improve error handling

When optimizing the connection using unix socket, we handle these cases:

- The local host is not an oVirt host (no /etc/vdsm/vdsm.id).
- The local host is an oVirt host, but is not registered with engine.
- Creating UnixHTTPConnection() fails. Unlikely and probably a bug in
  the plugin, but we can recover by using the https connection.

The current code handle these cases silently, making it harder to
understand why the unix socket optimization did no happen. Add debug
message to make this clear.

Also comment in the error handler why we take this path instead of
failing the operation.
