[libvirt] [PATCH] document static host IP assignment

[Charles Duffy <Charles_Duffy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in August 2008, DV added support for providing static IP/hostname 
assignments to dnsmasq via <host> elements in the network definition.

Since this functionality isn't covered in the documentation, I wrote up 
a quick patch, attached.
