Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH v2v] docs: Remove mention of direct backend / bug 1140166

Commit 2c91610ab3 ("v2v/input_libvirt_xen_ssh.ml: Remove obsolete error check.") was incomplete. We no longer need to use the direct backend to work around bug 1140166, because we use nbdkit + the ssh plugin instead of qemu's ssh backend. The manual page still mentioned this.
