[libvirt] [PATCH 07/11] virsh: Fix man page argument ordering for vol-dumpxml command

The proper command order is 'virsh vol-dumpxml volume pool'. While
making the modification clean up the description a bit too in order
to help clarify under what circumstances the volume could be found
if the pool name was not provided.
