[Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/4] v2v: Use libvirt-supplied <vmware:datacenterpath> if available.

In libvirt >= 1.2.20, the VMware libvirt driver supplies the correct
dcPath to use via <vmware:datacenterpath> in the libvirt XML. If
libvirt passes us this element, use it.
This code still allows the user to override dcPath using the --dcPath
option on the command line, but that's mainly for safety so we can fix
any problems in virt-v2v or libvirt in the field. As we get more
confident in libvirt and as libvirt 1.2.20 is more widely adopted, we
will be able to deprecate this parameter entirely.
Thanks: Matthias Bolte for adding the <vmware:datacenterpath> element
to libvirt in
