[libvirt] [PATCHv3 06/10] Widening API change - accept empty path for virDomainBlockStats

And provide domain summary stat in that case, for lxc backend.
Use case is a container inheriting all devices from the host,
e.g. when doing application containerization.

 Get device block stats for a running domain.  A I<block-device> corresponds
 to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source
 file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to I<domain> (see
-also B<domblklist> for listing these names).

+I<block-device> yields device block stats summarily for the entire domain.
 
 Use I<--human> for a more human readable output.
