[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 qemu-server] Simplify QEMU version check and require 3.0+

Some of the recent QMP changes require at least 2.8.0, but since the
oldest version we officially package for 6.x is 4.0.0 anyway, checking
for at least 3.0 should not break anyone's setup.

Note that this does not affect machine version checks, only the
installed QEMU binary version.

v1 -> v2:
* handle error in kvm_user_version
* corrected commit message (2.12 -> 2.8)

@Thomas: If kvm_user_version() failed, we actually died in min_version before.
You're suggested code also didn't quite work, because it still printed warnings
in case $kvmver was undef.
