This allows:

 a) migration without access to network

 b) complete control of the migration stream

 c) easy migration between containerised libvirt daemons on the same host

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
Migration never removes any configuration files on the destination host.
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.

4e42ff6b7e docs: switch to using 'id' attribute instead of 'name' for links
The 'name' attribute on <a...> elements is deprecated in favour
of the 'id' attribute which is allowed on any element. HTML5
drops 'name' support entirely.

d0d1de0f2b migration.html.in: Kill useless spaces in <pre/>
The <pre/> section is rendered as-is on the page. That is, if all
the lines are prefixed with 4 spaces the rendered page will also
have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because
the content might not fix into it.

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.

d1d2acd7f2 manual: Add info about migrateuri in virsh manual
The virsh(1) man page wasn't saying anything about the 'migrateuri'
parameter other than it can be usually omitted.  A patched version of
docs/migrate.html.in is taken in this patch to fix that up in the man
page.

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.
