For the dialog flow, these options are the same, the only effect
is that there's no longer an initial network boot phase.
PXE is dependent on an external server setup that is not common
in the scheme of things, so giving it a first class option on the
front of the new VM wizard isn't really sensible. Users that want
to PXE boot can easily do so via the 'customize before install'
option, or just manually create a VM and edit the boot device as
they see fit.
Explicitly advertising a Manual option is nicer for users that
just want to create a VM and deal with install later, among many
other minor use cases.

macvtap is problematic for inexperienced users so we shouldn't
be broadly advertising it, plus our device listing was incomplete
anyways.
Both bridge and macvtap device listing are largely dependent on
the libvirt virInterface APIs, which have varying degrees of
completeness across distros and are not particularly reliable to
begin with.
Drop both of these in favor of the available support for manually
specifying a device name

virt-convert takes an ovf/ova or vmx file and spits
out libvirt XML. It started as a code drop a long time ago that could
translate back and forth between vmx, ovf, and virt-image, a long dead
appliance format. In 2014 I converted it to do vmx -> libvirt and ovf ->
libvirt which was a CLI breaking change, but I never heard a peep of a
complaint. It doesn't seem to do a particularly thorough job at its
intended goal, I've seen 2-3 bug reports in the past 5 years and
generally it doesn't seem to have any users. Let's kill it. If anyone
has the desire to keep it alive it could live as a separate project
that's a wrapper around virt-install but there's no compelling reason to
keep it in virt-manager.git IMO

This is the old default, where we would try to determine a static
keymap value from host graphics config files, and set that in the

We haven't defaulted to this for a long time, setting a static keymap

for modern host config. So let's remove it

For a decade, qemu and xen and virt-manager work together to
make setting a manual keymap redundant. Advertising it in the UI does
more harm than good, because users may think they need to specify
one when in the vast majority of cases it will give worse behavior.
With the XML editing UI, users still have a way to do this by hand
if they really know what they are doing.

We shouldn't be validating against a static list of keymaps,
instead we should let libvirt or the hypervisor throw and error.
Also the accompanying code is about to be removed.
It's possible this will break command line usage for some users, like
if they were passing keymap=US and depending on our logic to lower()
it for them. I think this should be rare, and IMO it's acceptable to
tell users to just fix their command line, which should work correctly
with older versions too, so it should be a one time fix.
