[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Get the voldef target physical value

This effort started primarily to address some ideas/thoughts brought
up in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1332019 although as
things were updated, it seems that using storage volume definitions
wouldn't be necessary since the same data can be obtained via the
virDomainGetBlockInfo API.

Still since code had been written - I figured I'd posted it and see
what kind of feedback it got.

The first patch just adds the <physical> element to the output XML
and documents it thusly.

The 2nd/3rd patch take a different approach adding virStorageVolInfoFlags
which could take a single flag indicating that the caller would prefer
to return the "physical" value instead of the "allocation" value. Yes,
kind of a hack, but since we cannot extend _virStorageVolInfo to add
a physical it's a mechanism to allow fetching the data using existing
structures. Sure a virStorageVolStats API could be created as well,
but I figured I'd see how this went first before thinking about that.

  conf: Display <physical> in output of voldef
  storage: Introduce virStorageVolInfoFlags
  virsh: Allow display of the physical volume size
