Title: More tweaks to virt.py

1) Raise an exception in virt.py if you are unable to contact a hypervisor

2) Add an alias "start" to the oddly-named "create" function. Yes, I realize that we are mimicking the libvirt API by using 'create'. However, in 'virsh', the same function (power on a previously defined and created VM) is "start". This gives us both methods, and I hope, reduces confusion.
