storage: Better describe logical pool creation/definition parameters

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398087

Clean up the virsh man page description for --pool-create-as in order
to better describe how the various arguments are used when creating
(or defining) a logical pool.

Also modify the storage pool XML parsing algorithm to check for the
mismatched "name" and "source-name".

For a "logical" pool only [I<--name>] needs to be provided. The [I<--name>]
must match the Volume Group name for which the pool is being defined or
created. The [I<--source-name>] if provided must match the Volume Group
name. If not provided, one will be generated using the [I<--name>]. If
provided the [I<--target>] is ignored and a target source is generated
using the [I<--source-name>] (or as generated from the [I<--name>]).
