Lai Jiangshan a2943243c4 virsh: rework command parsing
Old virsh command parsing mashes all the args back into a string and
miss the quotes, this patches fix it. It is also needed for introducing
qemu-monitor-command which is very useful.

This patches uses the new vshCommandParser abstraction and adds
vshCommandArgvParse() for arguments vector, so we don't need
to mash arguments vector into a command sting.

And the usage was changed:
old:
virsh [options] [commands]

new:
virsh [options]... [<command_string>]
virsh [options]... <command> [args...]

So we still support commands like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml D" was parsed as a commands-string.

and support commands like:
we will not mash them into a string, we use new argv parser for it.

But we don't support the command like:
"define D.xml; dumpxml" was parsed as a command-name, but we have no such command-name.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
