[libvirt] [PATCH 12/14] util: storagefile: Clarify docs for '@report_broken' of virStorageFileGetMetadata
virStorageFileGetMetadata does not report error if we can't interrogate
the file somehow. Clarify this in the description of the @report_broken
flag as it implies we should report an error in that case. The problem
is that we don't know whether there's a problem and unforntnately just
offload it to qemu.
