b9725e7045 docs: manpages: Clarify that only TLS/TCP remote access needs 'virtproxyd'
Spell out that TCP and TLS needs virtproxyd as 'off-host' might mean
that also ssh transport requires it.

Also fix the name of the 'virtproxyd' daemon.

f53988d657 docs: Do not support non-socket activated modular daemons with systemd
Due to the setup of the modular daemon service files the reverting to non-socket
activated daemons could have never worked.  The reason is that masking the
socket files prevents starting the daemons since they require (as in Requires=
rather than Wants= in the service file) the sockets.  On top of that it creates
issues with some libvirt-guests setups and needlessly increases our support
matrix.

Nothing prevents users to modify their setup in a way that will still work
without socket activation, but supporting such setup only creates burden on our
part.

This technically reverts most of commit 59d30adacd except the change made to
the libvirtd manpage since the monolithic daemon still supports traditional mode
of starting even on systemd.

59d30adacd libvirt-guests: Fix dependency ordering in service file
After some debugging and discussion with systemd team it turns out we
are misusing the ordering in libvirt-guests.service.  That happened
because we want to support both monolithic and modular daemon setups and
on top of that we also want to support socket activation and services
without socket activation.  Unfortunately this is impossible to express
in the unit file because of how transactions are handled in systemd when
dependencies are resolved and multiple actions (jobs) are queued.  For
explanation from Michal Sekletar see comment #7 in the BZ this patch is
fixing:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1964855#c7

In order to support all the scenarios this patch also amends the
manpages so that users that are changing the default can also read how
to correct the dependency ordering in libvirt-guests unit file.

Ideally we would also keep the existing configuration during upgrade,
but due to our huge support matrix this seems hardly feasible as it
could introduce even more problems.
