CentOS 6 has libguestfs-devel 1.20.11, which predates the support
in guestfs_add_drive_opts() for requesting an nbd drive instead
of a local file (annoyingly, guestfs documentation merely states
the function was available since 0.3, without saying which later
releases added new options); causing a compilation failure during
'make check'. Maybe the guestfs plugin should still be built,
even though the tests that use guestfs can't work without support
for GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL; but it's easier to just
declare that on this old platform, we'll just disable guestfs
integration altogether. With that in place, 'make check' now
runs to completion, passing 14 and skipping 5 remaining tests.
