[libvirt] [PATCH v2] virsh: fix incorrect argument errors for long options

For long options, print:
* the option as specified by the user if it's unknown
* the cannoncial long option if its argument is  not
  a number (and should be)

And for missing arguments, print both the short and
the long option name.
(Doing only one of those would require either parsing
argv ourselves or let getopt print the errors, since
we can't tell long and short options apart by optopt
or longindex)
