[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2 v2] add --live support to "virsh dump"

This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump.  And for Xen, you just pass the flag down to xend.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainCoreDumpFlags): Add
VIR_DUMP_LIVE.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* src/xen/xend_internal.c (xenDaemonDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
* tools/virsh.c (opts_dump): Add --live.
(cmdDump): Map it to VIR_DUMP_LIVE.

	Since there was consensus, here is the patch with the Xen
	driver support.  Applies on top of the --crash patch.
