Libvirt already has support built-in for loading usernames and
passwords from a configuration file, so I don't think we need
to duplicate that in the sanlock config file. This is just a
documentation task to describe where to put the login info
for sanlock to use it.

This seems rather dubious to me and re-inforces my opinion that
we should be passing the full URI, not the driver name.
