services: Normalize and improve libvirt-configuration documentation.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (libvirt-configuration): Fix typos and
punctuation, and decorate with more Texinfo adornments.  Remove extraneous
text.  Convert enumerations to sentences re-generating the Texinfo
documentation with configuration->documentation doesn't require fixing these
by hand after (the text is re-flowed, breaking enumerations).  Mention the use
of 'log-filters' is preferable to 'log-level', as commented in the defaut
libvirt.conf template.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Re-generate.

Semi-deprecated option for the logging level: using the

control. The log level can be set to @code{4} for errors, @code{3} for
