[libvirt] [PATCH 05/11] virsh: Fix man page argument ordering for vol-download command

The proper command order is 'virsh vol-download volume file pool'. While
making the modification clean up the description a bit too in order
to help clarify under what circumstances the volume could be found
if the pool name was not provided.
