virsh: clean up attach-interface paragraph in man page
This makes the paragaph about attach-interface more descriptive and correct, adding in a few bits of information that were previously missing, e.g. --script is only allowed for bridge interfaces of Xen domains, target name is regenerated if it starts with vnet, mac address will be autogenerated if not specified. (I did this in response to an email asking why a script couldn't be specified for a bridge interface of a qemu domain, and why an interface of type='ethernet' couldn't be created with attach-interface)
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.
