Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] doc: Fix doc for backingStore

I spent quite some time figuring that backingStore info
isn't included in the dom xml, unless guest is up and
running. Hopefully putting that in the doc should help.
This patch adds that info to the doc.

I hope you don't mind that I took liberty with your wording, and added
myself as a second signoff. Here's the text that I committed:
This element describes the backing store used by the disk
specified by sibling <code>source</code> element. It is
currently ignored on input and only used for output to
describe the detected backing chains of running
domains <span class="since">since 1.2.4</span> (although a
future version of libvirt may start accepting chains on input,
or output information for offline domains). An empty
<code>backingStore</code> element means the sibling source is
self-contained and is not based on any backing store. For
backing chain information to be accurate, the backing format
must be correctly specified in the metadata of each file of
the chain (files created by libvirt satisfy this property, but
using existing external files for snapshot or block copy
operations requires the end user to pre-create the file
correctly). The following attributes and sub-elements are
supported in <code>backingStore</code>:
