    Refactor console checks in live migration process

    _check_graphics_addresses_can_live_migrate was added to check
    whether we can live migrate a VM with VNC/SPICE enabled when:

    * libvirt did not allow to change and migrate guest XML with
      updated graphics listen addresses. Right now we always can update
      VNC/SPICE listen address.
    * Destination node was running old-code that does not set the fields.
      Currently when live migrating between two versions of OpenStack
      (N and N-1) the fields are always set.

    Therefore this check is redundant and can be removed.

    Going deeper in this code - graphics_listen_addr_vnc and
    graphics_listen_addr_spice in libvirt migrate data object are of
    type IPAddressField. It means that both need to contain valid IP address.
    By default in nova.conf it is 127.0.0.1. It can't be set to None because
    IP address is taken from nova.conf and even if set to None it will be
    passed as a string 'None' and will fail IPAddressField validation.

    graphics_listen_addrs in migration.py currently always returns a dict
    which contains IP addresses of both VNC and spice graphics consoles.

    This means that:
    * check 'if listen_addrs' is always True
    * check 'if not listen_addrs' is always False

    So we really never passed through 'if not listen_addrs' since
    migrate_data is objectified as those addresses are always there.

    However, serial_listen_addr is handled different way. The type of
    this field in libvirt migrate data object is StringField that might
    be set to None or empty string through nova.conf. So we still need
    to validate whether serial console can be migrated so that we will
    be sure that particular live migration will not break serial console
    in case when serial listen address is not configured at destination.
