Promote the 'What to attach?' section to a first level heading and
request also the XML config of a VM, coredump backtrace if something
crashed and ask to not tear down the environment for the possibility to
ask for additional data.

What to attach?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+---------------
Now you should go and reproduce the bug. Once you're finished, attach:
- ``/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log`` or whatever path you set for the daemon
logs.
-- If the problem is related to a domain attach
- ``/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$dom.log`` then. Or substitute ``qemu`` with whatever
- hypervisor you are using.
+- If the problem is related to a domain named ``$dom`` attach:
+
+ - ``/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$dom.log`` (Or substitute ``qemu`` with whatever
+ hypervisor you are using.)
+ - The XML configuration of the vm/domain obtained by ``virsh dumpxml $dom``
+
+- If the problem involves a crash of ``libvirtd`` or any other component also
+ attach the core dump backtrace if possible (e.g. using ``coredumpctl``).
- If you are asked for client logs, ``/tmp/libvirt_client.log``.
+- Ideally don't tear down the environment in case additionall information is
+ required.

With at least the typo fixed:
