[PATCH v3] xl: rename "list-vm" command to "vm-list"

All of the other "list" verbs are of the form "$noun-list". For
example: "pci-list", "vcpu-list", "network-list", "block-list", etc.

Additionally, many people have well trained muscle memory from years
of typing "xm li". "xl li" was ambiguous due to "xl list-vm", thus
resulting in "command not implemented".

Finally, this command was missing from the xl man page.

Changes since v2:
* Document the command as showing only guests

Changes since v1:
* Add documentation
