9e93d87c00 docs: Document SELinux caveats when migrating over UNIX sockets
The information about sockets having different label than the one on the file
and the way it needs to be set is very difficult to find for those who did not
come across it before.  Let's describe what needs to happen in order for the
migration to go through rather than rely on general knowledge of others.

Fix the following issues:

2) '--migrateuri' was missing for the qemu data stream
3) '--desturi' was not used making it non-obvious what the argument
   corresponds to

0cb10f23a0 docs: migration: Fix syntax
One of the paragraphs added in f51cbe92c0 was not terminated thus
making it invalid XML/XHTML.

This was not caught by the build system as 'scripts/meson-html-gen.py'
unnecessarily obscures and hides errors from 'xsltproc'.

eb7388b549 docs: relax CSS context match for pretty tables
We currently only render pretty tables if they have the "top_table"
class set. All of our tables set this, except for the ACL & migration
doc tables, which should have set it, and the API reference which does
not want it.

Simplify life by rendering all tables in a pretty style and remove the
need for the "top_table" class entirely. A small rule turns off the
pretty style for the API reference where tables are a hack used to
render enums with horizontal alignment.

2c01e4febc migration.html: Clarify configuration file handling docs

Thus when the domain is already defined on the destination, it will stay
persistent even after migration without --persist.

b1c81567c7 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration
The HTML5 doctype is simply

  <!DOCTYPE html>

no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.

XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

f6160483d9 migration: Document we don't copy storage during offline migration
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1322717

During offline migration, no storage is copied. Nor disks, nor
NVRAM file, nor anything. We use qemu for that and because domain
is not running there's nobody to copy that for us.
We should document this to avoid confusing users.

f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

38bd605b71 docs: mention migration issue of which credentials are used
Based on a report by Seth Vidal.  Just because _you_ can use virsh
to connect to both source and destinations does not mean that libvirtd
on the source (aka _root_) can likewise connect to the destination;
this matters when setting up a peer-to-peer migration instead of a
native one.

* docs/migration.html.in: Mention that in peer-to-peer, the owner
of the source libvirtd (usually root) must be able to connect to
the destination.
