Re: [Libguestfs] [v2v PATCH] input-xen: sync PasswordAuthentication hint from input-vmware manual

Unlike in the VMWare input module, we don't have "remote_file_exists" "scp_from_remote_to_temporary" functions in the Xen input module; therefore, nothing inherently prevents "-ip" from satisfying all ssh password requests when using input-xen. However, the Xen server still needs to permit PasswordAuthentication; sync the appropriate note from the input-vmware manual to the input-xen manual.
