Historically, the dumpxml command reject any unknown arguments,
for instance:
virsh dumpxml fedora xxx
However, after v8.5.0-rc1~31 the second argument ('xxx') is
treated as an XPath, but it's not that clearly visible.
Therefore, require the --xpath switch, like this:
virsh dumpxml fedora --xpath xxx
Yes, this breaks already released virsh, but I think we can argue
that the pool of users of this particular function is very small.
We also document the argument being mandatory:
dumpxml [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable]
[--xpath EXPRESSION] [--wrap] domain
The sooner we do this change, the better.
The same applies for other *dumpxml functions (net-dumpxml,
pool-dumpxml, vol-dumpxl to name a few).
