Clarify the purpose of domxml-from-native

Browse Source 
Someone mentioned to me that they interpreted this section of the KVM
driver page as suggesting that new guests should be created by
creating a qemu commandline and converting it to XML with
domxml-from-native.  I don't think that's the intent of
domxml-from-native, so I added that clarification.

<h3><a name="xmlimport">Converting from QEMU args to domain XML</a></h3>
<p>
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to convert an
existing set of QEMU args into a guest description using libvirt Domain XML
that can then be used by libvirt.
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to
convert an existing set of QEMU args into a guest description
using libvirt Domain XML that can then be used by libvirt.
Please note that this command is intended to be used to convert
existing qemu guests previously started from the command line to
be managed through libvirt. It should not be used a method of
creating new guests from scratch. New guests should be created
using an application calling the libvirt APIs (see
the <a href="apps.html">libvirt applications page</a> for some
examples) or by manually crafting XML to pass to virsh.
