lib: Remove libguestfs live

This experimental feature allowed you (in theory) to connect to an
existing instance of the libguestfs daemon.  (Again, in theory) it
allowed you to attach to running guests.  This didn't work well in
practice.  If you want to do this, install qemu-guest-agent inside
your guest instead.

This also disables the --live options in guestfish and guestmount.
(The option now prints an error).

This was never supported in RHEL.

The daemon tests relied on this connection method to perform tests on
a bare daemon, so this removes those tests.  They were not especially
valuable.
