In my testing this patch is still badly broken, apparently no different
than the previous version I tested

I have 2 hosts, avocado & mustard and stopped guest vm1. I try to
migrate the VM from avocado to mustard thus:

 # ./tools/virsh -c qemu+ssh://root@avocado/system migrate --undefinesource --offline vm1 qemu+ssh://root@mustard/system

This should *not* even run because I did not pass the --persistent flag,
but it does in fact complete. I creates a guest 'vm1' on the target host,
but does not write out any config. This is a completely bogus scenario.
If a guest has no config, it is transient and thus must not exist if it
is shutoff, but your patch is resulting in a transient, shutoff guest.

If I set the '--persistent' flag, there is no diffrence in behaviour. We
still get a transient shutoff guest on the target.

Also the '--undefinesource' flag appeared to have no effect at all. The
guest still exists on the source, both in libvirtd & on disk.
