save: add --bypass-cache flag to virsh save/restore operations

Wire up the new flag to several virsh commands.  Also, the
'dump' command had undocumented flags.

* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdManagedSave, cmdDump, cmdStart)
(cmdRestore): Add new flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, managedsave, dump, start, restore):
Document flags.
