disk/vfs: ensure guestfs capabilities

flag to avoid repeating the process if succeeded.
If we are able to load guestfs but something wrong happens a fatal
error is raised.

More information here from Richard W.M. Jones:
- 'sudo update- guestfs- appliance' goes away with libguestfs >= 1.26
in Debian & Ubuntu, where, finally, they have got rid of that daft
script, and the appliance gets built automatically on demand, as
happens on Fedora and everywhere else.
- However Ubuntu does still have the kernel permissions problem, and
this will probably stay this way forever, since we haven't managed
to persuade them that what they are doing is stupid.
So since the situation is fluid, perhaps it's better just to link to
the FAQ?
