[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: mention domain <clock> improvements

[Eric Blake]

Add documentation for features added a while ago.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Time keeping): Update documentation
of <clock> element to match 0.8.0 addition.
---

Please double-check me.  The conversion from schemas/domain.rng
to text, coupled with list traffic about the patches, was pretty
overwhelming.  I hope I haven't over-trivialized the various options,
but am pretty sure I didn't omit any.
