You saved 1 call to memset. I also don't see how we can break
virBufferContentAndReset in a way that we couldn't mess up virBufferSetError in
the same way. Additionally, seeing a call to virBufferSetError in a free helper
looks suspicious (even if it has a '0' as argument). If anything, I'd rename
virBuggerFreeAndReset to virBufferClean.
