add & propagate :NO-SERVICES connattr and respect in LIBVIRT:STARTED
This change was prompted by the realisation that RECONNECTS nullifies any enclosing SERVICE:WITHOUT-STARTING-SERVICES because *HOST* during RECONNECTS is a distinct HOST value, computed at hostattrs time, which can't be affected by an enclosing combinator that works by temporarily pushing hostattrs at :APPLY time. So, for example, if we chroot and subsequently establish a :SETUID connection, properties might try to start services as the non-root user and there is no way for them to know they shouldn't. We can avoid this problem by using a connattr instead because we have a mechanism for propagating connattrs to subsequently established connections. And as in most cases the reason for not starting services is solely due to the way in which we're connecting to the host, a connattr is more appropriate.
