[libvirt PATCH v2] docs: introduce stubs for new libvirt Go packages

Currently we expose libvirt Go packages at

  libvirt.org/libvirt-go
  libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml

These packages have not supported Go modules historically and when we
tried to introduce modules, we hit the problem that we're not using
semver for versioning.

The only way around this is to introduce new packages under a different
namespace, that will have the exact same code, but be tagged with a
different version numbering scheme.

This change proposes:

  libvirt.org/go/libvirt
  libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml

Note the hyphen is removed so that the import basename matches the
Go package name.
