[libvirt] [PATCH 1/4] Document to not rely on virConnectGetMaxVcpus API

[Shivaprasad G Bhat]

The API virConnectGetMaxVcpus doesnt really reflect the actual usable number
of cpus as the maximum limits can be different for kvm and/or qemu. So update
the documentation to use virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() instead.
