Given the source code, I think this should be:
=item B<change-media> I<domain-id> I<target>
{I<--insert> | I<--update> | I<--eject>} [I<source>] [I<--force>]
[[I<--live>] [I<--config>] | [I<--current>]]

It would be nice if we could also recognize existing source file name.
That is, if 'vda' has /path/to/disk1, and I am about to change it to
/path/to/disk2, I think that both of these commands should work:
virsh change-media dom --update /path/to/disk1 /path/to/disk2
virsh change-media dom --update vda /path/to/disk2

Is there any reason why we require exactly one of
--insert/--update/--eject, or could we make the command automatically
assume --update if none of the three flags were given? Less typing is
nicer.
