[virt-tools-list] [virt-manager PATCH] inspection: handle failures in application listing

[Pino Toscano]

The Python binding of libguestfs errors out in case any of the details
(e.g. summary, description) of an application are not proper UTF-8.
This seems a rare situation, which nevertheless causes the failure of
the inspection of a guest, making the rest of the metadata not used.

While these encoding issues are tackled, and fixed in python-libguestfs
(or libguestfs itself), gracefully handle the failure of
inspect_list_applications(), so at least the rest of the details of a
guest are used/shown.
