domain: Fix unknown flags diagnosis in virDomainGetXMLDesc
Many drivers had a comment that they did not validate the incoming 'flags' to virDomainGetXMLDesc() because they were relying on virDomainDefFormat() to do it instead. This used to be the case (at least since 461e0f1a and friends in 0.9.4 added unknown flag checking in general), but regressed in commit 0ecd6851 (1.2.12), when all of the drivers were changed to pass 'flags' through the new helper virDomainDefFormatConvertXMLFlags(). Since this helper silently ignores unknown flags, we need to implement flag checking in each driver instead. Annoyingly, this means that any new flag values added will silently be ignored when targeting an older libvirt, rather than our usual practice of loudly diagnosing an unsupported flag. Add comments in domain_conf.[ch] to remind us to be extra vigilant about the impact when adding flags (a new flag to add data is safe if the older server omitting the requested data doesn't break things in the newer client; a new flag to suppress data rather than enhancing the existing VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE may form a data leak or even a security hole). In the qemu driver, there are multiple callers all funnelling to qemuDomainDefFormatBufInternal(); many of them already validated flags (and often only a subset of the full set of possible flags), but for ease of maintenance, we can also check flags at the common helper function.
