[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: add aliases 'boot', 'stop', and 'restart'

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873344 suggested that
the grouping 'boot', 'shutdown', 'reboot'; as well as the grouping
'start', 'stop', 'restart'; might be easier to remember than the
current mix of 'start', 'shutdown', 'reboot'.

* tools/virsh-domain.c (domManagementCmds): Add other command names.
* tools/virsh.pod (start, shutdown, reboot): Document the aliases.
---

This patch documents both spellings.  An alternative would be to
leave the alternate spellings as hidden aliases (virsh has support
for that), but still mention them in virsh.pod (see how we did an
alias for nodedev-dettach, for reference).
