Daniel P. Berrange af6b61ba06 Improve error reporting when virsh console is run without a TTY
If attempting to run

  ssh root@somehost virsh console someguest

You'll get an error

  2012-02-15 13:11:47.683+0000: 4765: info : libvirt version: 0.9.10, package: 1.fc18 (Unknown, 2012-02-15-11:48:57, lettuce.camlab.fab.redhat.com)
  2012-02-15 13:11:47.683+0000: 4765: error : vshRunConsole:320 : unable to get tty attributes: Invalid argument
  Connected to domain f16x86_64
  Escape character is ^]

There are several problems here

 - The actual error message is bad for users
 - We shouldn't rely on VIR_ERROR for this case
 - The prompt makes it look like we still connected
   because we didn't flush stdout.

* virsh.c: Flush stdout before starting console and check
  for a valid tty

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
