* autostart cannot be used with command=define

autostart cannot be used with command=define. If it's used with state, it'll be silently ignored.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/41592

* guest name should not be used with xml

When both ```name``` and ```xml``` are specified, there might be a mismatch of domain names in
```name``` and inside ```xml```.

* Improved error handling and param deps for autostart-only tasks.
Standalone autostart tasks depend on ```name``` and need the domain to be present.

* Added handling of errors thrown by libvirt

* Updates to documentstion and examples

* Removed required flag from name. Added description on some option combinations.
Added a few examples.

* lint issues

* docs: note that name is optional

* Removing required from documentation of name parameter

* extra text to make clearer when name is required

* When defining a domain with xml, its name is taken directly from the xml definition.

This reverts commit 4ac14a622b.
