Unfortunately our 'unit test' suite depends on host libvirt version in some
capacity. I try to weed out the version dependencies as they pop up, but it
means sometimes the test suite is broken depending on the libvirt version.

For that reason enabling the test suite in the spec is a pain since a libvirt
update in rawhide followed by a virt-manager rebuild might fail since the test
suite has diverged. We can ignore failure, like your patch does, but that
doesn't seem to valuable besides slowing down the build.

It will need to duplicate BuildRequires for all the virt-manager-common deps
at least.
