[virt-tools-list] [PATCH glib] Fix check for libvirt optional functions

The checks for virDomainOpenGraphicsFD and
virNetworkGetDHCPLeases in configure are simply trying
to compile and link a test program. This was assuming
that libvirt was installed in /usr/lib & /usr/include,
which is not always the case. Using a pkg-config version
check avoids needing to compile and thus avoids the
bad assumptions about install locations.
