docs: apps: Update references to virt-p2v and virt-v2v.

These tools have been rewritten upstream, so you don't need to link to
the old tools, link to the new ones and mention they are part of
libguestfs.

Also remove the link to "Poor man's P2V".  There's no real reason to
use that technique any longer since the rewritten tools are simple,
fast and highly capable.

<dd>
A simple approach for converting a physical machine to a virtual
machine, using a rescue CD.
Convert a physical machine to run on KVM. It is a LiveCD
which is booted on the machine to be converted. It collects a
little information from the user, then copies the disks over
to a remote machine and defines the XML for a domain to run
the guest. (Note this tool is included with libguestfs)

An older tool for converting a physical machine into a virtual
machine. It is a LiveCD which is booted on the machine to be
converted. It collects a little information from the user, then
copies the disks over to a remote machine and defines the XML for a

virt-v2v converts guests from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM,
managed by libvirt. It can currently convert Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) and Fedora guests running on Xen and VMware ESX. It
virt-v2v converts guests from a foreign hypervisor to run on
KVM, managed by libvirt. It can convert guests from VMware or
Xen to run on OpenStack, oVirt (RHEV-M), or local libvirt. It
will enable VirtIO drivers in the converted guest if possible.

For RHEL customers of Red Hat, conversion of Windows guests is also
