Re: [Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Disable metadata log output in every guest refresh

The libvirt function "metadata" always displays an error message when the VM does not have a metadata section in its XML descriptor. Kimchi refreshes the VM information every few seconds and a lot of error output is printed on the console. The real exception can still be logged by the "try/except" block, so the error itself is not being silenced, only its output. Even though this patch has no relation to feature tests, the functions which enable/disable the libvirt error messages are located inside the class FeatureTests so we need to import them. Silence the metadata error output when trying to read the metadata information from a VM.
