    libvirt: Rework 'EBUSY' (SIGKILL) error handling code path
    
    Change ID I128bf6b939 (libvirt: handle code=38 + sigkill (ebusy) in
    _destroy()) handled the case where a QEMU process "refuses to die" within
    a given timeout period set by libvirt.
    
    Originally, libvirt sent SIGTERM (allowing the process to clean-up
    resources), then waited 10 seconds, if the guest didn't go away.  Then
    it sent, the more lethal, SIGKILL and waited another 5 seconds for it to
    take effect.
    
    From libvirt v4.7.0 onwards, libvirt increased[1][2] the time it waits
    for a guest hard shutdown to complete.  It now waits for 30 seconds for
    SIGKILL to work (instead of 5).  Also, additional wait time is added if
    there are assigned PCI devices, as some of those tend to slow things
    down.
    
    In this change:
    
      - Increment the counter to retry the _destroy() call from 3 to 6, thus
        increasing the total time from 15 to 30 seconds, before SIGKILL
        takes effect.  And it matches the (more graceful) behaviour of
        libvirt v4.7.0.  This also gives breathing room for Nova instances
        running in environments with large compute nodes with high instance
        creation or delete churn, where the current timout may not be
        sufficient.
    
      - Retry the _destroy() API call _only_ if MIN_LIBVIRT_VERSION is lower
        than 4.7.0.
