docs: Note hvf support for domain elements

Browse Source 
Many domain elements have "QEMU and KVM only" or "QEMU/KVM since x.y.z"
remarks. Most of the elements work for HVF domain, so it makes sense to
add respective notices for HVF domain.

All the elements have been manually tested.

@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ Element and attribute overview
The root element required for all virtual machines is named ``domain``. It has
two attributes, the ``type`` specifies the hypervisor used for running the
domain. The allowed values are driver specific, but include "xen", "kvm",
"hvf" (:since:`since 8.0.0 and QEMU 2.12`), "qemu"
"hvf" (:since:`since 8.1.0 and QEMU 2.12`), "qemu"
and "lxc". The second attribute is ``id`` which is a unique integer identifier
for the running guest machine. Inactive machines have no id value.
