Allow older versions of libvirt to delete vms

    Libvirt < 0.9.4 doesn't support undefineFlags, so the vms can't be
    deleted. This patch adds a workaround to fallback to the old style
    of undefine if undefineFlags throws an Attribute error. It also
    attempts to remove any managed save images that exist.

Fixes bug 1051010
