docs: Document how libvirt handles companion controllers

The information on companion controllers we give in our documentation is
rather sparse.  For example, it looks like any controller can be used as
a companion one.  Also, when using ich9-uhci2, for example, we are able
to set some sensible defaults, but it might get confusing for the user
as we don't do that for all controller models.

       A companion controller is on the same bus as its master, so
       the companion <code>index</code> value should be equal.
