It's observed that if a vm is created by external tool and doesn't have video device, libivrt will keep reporting the following error message: "internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'screendump': There is no QemuConsole I can screendump from." This patch skips screendump for that kinds of vms to avoid the error message and repeately sending the black images. On UI side, it changes to display vm's icon instead of the black image if it doesn't have video device.
