The parser already accepts repeated options (well, precisely ONE
repeated option), by making that option be last in the command
description and giving it .type = VSH_OT_ARGV. For comparison, see the
echo command in virsh.c or the send-key command in virsh-domain.c.
That seems rather uneccessarily strict to me. I think it is entirely
valid to allow any --fooo option to be marked as allowing repeats,
not require it to be the final non-option argument.
