virsh: Fix semantics of --config for "update-device" command
The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This can be understood as if _only_ the next boot was affected. This isn't true if the machine is running. This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag. Note that this patch changes the the behavior of the --config flag to match the use of this flag in rest of libvirt. This flag was mistakenly renamed from --persistent that originaly had different semantics.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
