While parsing XML strings from memory, the previous convention in
libvirt was to set the virtual file name to "domain.xml" or something
similar. This could potentialy trick the user into looking for a file
named domain.xml on the disk in an attempt to fix the error.

This patch changes these filenames to something that can't be as easily
confused for a valid filename.

Examples of error messages:
---------------------------
Error while loading file from disk:

15:07:59.015: 527: error : catchXMLError:709 : /path/to/domain.xml:1: StartTag: invalid element name
<domain type='kvm'><
--------------------^

Error while parsing definintion in memory:

15:08:43.581: 525: error : catchXMLError:709 : (domain definition):2: error parsing attribute name
   <name>vm1</name>
--^

I like it.  ACK, and worth pushing pre-release.
