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

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

Changes:
- Update the descriptions of --current & --config flags.
For --config, the reason to rephrase "next boot" to "next start"
is: "Next boot may still imply somebody selecting "reboot" in the
guest OS and fully expecting the changes to be applied." (per Peter
Krempa)
For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences
of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"
Fix all occurrences (i.e. as many as I could spot) of this.

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.

Simplify gathering the actual return value from a passed-through QMP
command when using 'qemu-monitor-command' by adding '--return-value'
switch which just extracts the 'return' section and alternatively
reports an error if the section is not present.
This simplifies gathering of some test data where the full reply would
need to be trimmed just for the actual return value.
