The completer closes stderr to suppress anything poluting the shell when

*polluting

completion would cause any errors.

Since 'virshReconnect' would call 'vshError' on connection failure this
causes vshError to be killed by SIGPIPE and not provide any completions
if the connection is not possible.

To avoid this add a flag called 'stderr_closed' to vshControl and use it
to suppress output in 'vshPrintStderr'. Keep only the log.

Prior to this patch, attempt to run completion on a host with all
daemons shut down would result in:

# virsh complete -- "start" "--doma" ; echo $?
141
#

With this patch the completion will still fail but the return code will
be 1. Further patch will allow completion.
