[libvirt PATCH v2 1/1] virt-ssh-helper: Add manual page
We don't usually provide manual pages for internal tools,
but in the case of virt-ssh-helper the command is installed
inside the default $PATH and so it's likely that the user
will stumble upon it by using the shell's completion feature
when invoking another virt-* command, which makes it a good
idea to provide at least a minimal manual page.
