Public bug reported:
[Impact]
libguestfs fails to build from source in trusty. This is because libguestfs's
configure checks for a version of qemu >=1, but the test doesn't properly deal
with major versions >=2. When libguestfs was initially uploaded to the in-devel
trusty release, qemu in trust was still a 1.x release, but qemu 2.x was
uploaded before trusty's general release.
[Test Case]
Attempt to rebuild trusty's libguestfs in trusty. It currently fails with:
checking for /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 version >= 1... no
configure: error: in `/home/dannf/libguestfs-1.24.5/debian/build-default':
configure: error: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 version must be >= 1.0.
See `config.log' for more details

[Regression Risk]
The upstream fix simply allows the version test to match greater versions of
qemu. This doesn't impact the build in any way, just allows it to continue.
