Subject: [PATCH 4/7] docs: Update the formatdomain disk examples

Add more iSCSI examples including having a secret attached. There are 4 new
examples one for each way to have an iSCSI - a network disk using virtio,
a passthrough network lun using scsi, a volume disk using "mode='host'",
and a volume disk using "mode='direct'"

-        <code>pool</code> and <code>volume</code>. Attribute <code>pool</code>
-        specifies the name of storage pool (managed by libvirt) where the disk
-        source resides, and attribute <code>volume</code> specifies the name of
-        storage volume (managed by libvirt) used as the disk source. For a

-        <code>mode</code> (<span class="since">since 1.1.1</span>) can be used
-        to indicate how to represent the LUN as the disk source. The value
