The man page states that with --config the next boot is affected. This
can be understood as if _only_ the next bood was affected. This isn't
true if the machine is running.
This patch adds the full --live, --config, --current infrastructure and
tweaks stuff to correctly support the obsolete --persistent flag.
---
Notes:
- This patch will be greatly simplified with macros from:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-March/msg00268.html
- There are multiple places like this in virsh that will need update too.
(detach-device for example)
