Hello,

Today, I tried to execute an innocent test checking if a file is remote
or not:

(file-remote-p "/dav:localhost#8000:/foo")

Unexpectedly, I encountered user error
tramp-error: Package `tramp-gvfs' not supported

I did not expect that `file-remote-p' should ever throw an error other
than when passed non-string argument.

Looking at the code, (setq tramp-gvfs-enabled t) would make the error
disappear. (The default value is nil)

I believe that it is inappropriate that throw an error in such
situation. If "gvfs" is not supported, but still claimed to be remote by
TRAMP, I expect non-nil return value when calling `file-remote-p'; not
an error.
