virStorageVolWipe: Document that wiping journaled FS is useless
So you have a libvirt volume that you want to wipe out. But lets
say that the volume is actually a file stored on a journaled
filesystem. Overwriting it with zeroes or a pattern does not mean
that corresponding physical location on the disk is overwritten
too, due to journaling. It's the same story with network based
volumes, copy-on-write filesystems, and so on. Since there is no
way that an userland application can write onto specific areas on
disk, all that we can do is document the fact.
