Shorten the function name as there isn't any vshCommandOptString.

Switch the command parser from using the VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT flag
opting out from positional parsing of arguments to a combination of the
'positional' flags for truly positional arguments and
'unwanted_positional' preserving semantics for the existing arguments
where the parser did it due to bad design.
This patch retires VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT along with the infrastructure that
was needed to refactor all uses properly.

Mark the 'backupxml' as positional optional and the 'checkpointxml' as
'unwanted_positional' to preserve the positional parsing quirk.

Store the pointers to 'help' and 'description' information in the struct
directly rather than in a key-value list.
The generic approach never got any extra use.

Historically, the dumpxml command reject any unknown arguments,
for instance:
virsh dumpxml fedora xxx
However, after v8.5.0-rc1~31 the second argument ('xxx') is
treated as an XPath, but it's not that clearly visible.
Therefore, require the --xpath switch, like this:
virsh dumpxml fedora --xpath xxx
Yes, this breaks already released virsh, but I think we can argue
that the pool of users of this particular function is very small.
We also document the argument being mandatory:
dumpxml [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable]
[--xpath EXPRESSION] [--wrap] domain
The sooner we do this change, the better.
The same applies for other *dumpxml functions (net-dumpxml,
pool-dumpxml, vol-dumpxl to name a few).

While you can chain the virsh output up to a later 'xmllint' or 'xpath'
command, integrating it into virsh avoids needs for installing extra
binaries which we've often found to be missing on production installs
of libvirt. It also gives better response if the initial virsh command
hits an error, as you don't get an aborted pipeline.
$ virsh pool-dumpxml --xpath //permissions default
<permissions>
<mode>0711</mode>
<owner>1000</owner>
<group>1000</group>
<label>unconfined_u:object_r:svirt_home_t:s0</label>
</permissions>
If multiple nodes match, they are emitted individually:
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x05" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x03" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
...snip...
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x02" function="0x0" multifunction="on"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x07" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
but if intending to post-process the output further, the results
can be wrapped in a parent node
$ virsh dumpxml --xpath '//devices/*/address[@type="pci"]' --wrap demo
<nodes>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x05" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x03" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
...snip...
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x02" function="0x0" multifunction="on"/>
