This is not true entirely. The check in the code that enforces that '/'
is not in the domain name is conditional.

It's based on the VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FEATURE_NAME_SLASH flag being asserted
by the hypervisors which don't refuse slash in domain name. The
following drivers use it:

src/openvz/openvz_conf.c:    .features = VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FEATURE_NAME_SLASH,
src/vbox/vbox_common.c:    .features = VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FEATURE_NAME_SLASH,
src/vmx/vmx.c:                 VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FEATURE_NAME_SLASH |

This isn't relaxing it, but merely keeping it as it was, since
'domainName' rng type allows slash.

On the other hand, nothing actually uses 'backenddomain', so we can use
the stricter version without any problem.
