Remove use of virConnectPtr from all remaining nwfilter code
The virConnectPtr is passed around loads of nwfilter code in
order to provide it as a parameter to the callback registered
by the virt drivers. None of the virt drivers use this param
though, so it serves no purpose.
Avoiding the need to pass a virConnectPtr means that the
nwfilterStateReload method no longer needs to open a bogus
QEMU driver connection. This addresses a race condition that
can lead to a crash on startup.
The nwfilter driver starts before the QEMU driver and registers
some callbacks with DBus to detect firewalld reload. If the
firewalld reload happens while the QEMU driver is still starting
up though, the nwfilterStateReload method will open a connection
to the partially initialized QEMU driver and cause a crash.
