[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] add --live support to "virsh dump"

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is trivial for QEMU since you just have to not stop the vm before
starting the dump.

In Xen it is buggy, so I chose to not support it.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemudDomainCoreDump): Support live dumping.
