KVM guide is a bit misleading

As a newbie, I found docs misleading: Whonix for KVM

Either move or copy.

Move the image files.

mv Whonix-Gateway*.qcow2 ~/.local/share/images/Whonix-Gateway.qcow2

mv Whonix-Workstation*.qcow2 ~/.local/share/images/Whonix-Workstation.qcow2

The problem is: my pool turned out to be in a different path ~/.local/share/libvirt/images and i had a hard time understanding why i can’t start my VMs.

I think guide should provide instruction on how to get actual pool location without assuming wrong path:

virsh -c qemu:///session pool-list --all              # all pools + state
virsh -c qemu:///session pool-dumpxml <pool-name>         # full config incl. path

I thought that was fixed already for some reason, but apparently it was not. Fixed now.
