[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh-edit: Make force editing usable

When editing a domain with 'virsh edit' and failing validation, the
usual message pops up:

  Failed. Try again? [y,n,f,?]:

The option 'f' (force) is pretty unusable.  It tries to step into the
same puddle again and again when it can at least try to force the
definition.

This patch adds support for relaxing definition in virsh-edit and makes
'virsh edit <domain>' more usable, mainly for testing.
