Annotate arguments which can be unintentionally parsed positionally.
(See previous commits for explanation.)
Currently virsh accepts the arguments such as:
$ virsh attach-disk --print-xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
<disk type='file' device='10'>
<driver name='5' type='6' iothread='7' cache='8'
io='9'/>
<source file='2'/>
<target dev='3' bus='4'/>
</disk>
While making virsh require the flags is technically a breaking change,
there were multiple instances where arguments were added to the argument
list thus changing the order the positional arguments would be
interpreted as. Examples are commits: 7e157858b4b, bc5a8090afa,
ca21d75d25. As of such there are multiple breaks of compatibiluity for
compatibility
the positional arguments.
As of such, require the option flag for all optional arguments with
value for 'virsh attach-disk'.
