[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Fix small issues in documentations of APIs
- fix names of arguments & optional arguments in C<..> markers
- use https for URLs where possible
- fix links to other guestfs APIs
- use more C<..> markers for special tests, shell commands, values of
arguments, and names of fields
- link to command man pages where an explicit command is mentioned
- fix few incorrect documentation bits
