When invoking 'virsh guestinfo $VM' without explicitly specifying a
group of information to return, virsh always reports success even when
the guest agent doesn't report any information in the current state.
This is desired in situations when you are okay with stats being missing
and avoids spurious errors being reported.
Clarify that this is really desired in the man page.

The burst attribute for bandwidth specifies how much bytes can be
transmitted in a single burst. Therefore, the unit is in
multiples of 1024 (thus kibibytes) not SI-like 1000. It has
always been like that.
The 'tc' output is still confusing though, for instance:
# tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 1000kbps burst 2097152
# tc class show dev vnet2
class htb 1:1 root rate 8Mbit ceil 8Mbit burst 2Mb cburst 1600b
Please note that 2097152 = 2*1024*1024. Even the man page is
confusing. From tc(8):
kb or k Kilobytes
mb or m Megabytes
But I guess this is because 'tc' predates IEC standardisation of
binary multiples and thus can't change without breaking scripts
parsing its output.
And while at it, adjust _virNetDevBandwidthRate struct member
description, to make it obvious which members use SI/IEC units.

Let's imagine a guest that's configured with strict numatune:
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
</numatune>
For guests with NUMA:
Depending on machine type used (see commit v6.4.0-rc1~75) we
generate either:
1) -object '{"qom-type":"memory-backend-ram","id":"ram-node0",\
"size":20971520,"host-nodes":[0],"policy":"preferred"}' \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
or
2) -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=20480
Later, when QEMU boots up and cpuset CGroup controller is
available we further restrict QEMU there too. But there's a
behaviour difference hidden: while in case 1) QEMU is restricted
from beginning, in case 2) it is not and thus it may happen that
it will allocate memory from different NUMA node and even though
CGroup will try to migrate it, it may fail to do so (e.g. because
memory is locked). Therefore, one can argue that case 2) is
broken. NB, case 2) is exactly what mode 'restrictive' is for.
However, in case 1) we are unable to update QEMU with new
host-nodes, simply because it's lacking a command to do so.
For guests without NUMA:
It's very close to case 2) from above. We have commit
v7.10.0-rc1~163 that prevents us from outputting host-nodes when
generating memory-backend-* for system memory, but that simply
allows QEMU to allocate memory anywhere and then relies on
CGroups to move it to desired location.
Due to all of this, there is no reliable way to change nodeset
for mode 'strict'. Let's forbid it.
