If the user selects virtiofs when editting or adding a new VM, and
we don't detect that they have shared memory enabled, show
a warning label in the UI pointing them to the Memory screen.
It would be nicer if we did this for them, but to get that totally
correct would require both duplicating libvirt's shared memory
detection logic, and some surgery to the addhw wizard. This is good
enough for now

The code previously was just encoding the same defaults as libvirt,
which doesn't really add anything.
Instead, let's prefer type='emulator' model='tpm-crb', which
gives the most modern virtualization friendly config. When we don't
know if that will work, we mostly leave things up to libvirt to fill
in.

Add extra PCIe root ports to enable q35 device hotplug to work out
of the box. A typical modern linux guest has 7-8 PCI devices added
by default, so this gives plenty of wiggle room.
The smart thing to do would be to count the attached PCI devices
and add 4-5 extra, but that takes more work and isn't trivial.
The number can be overridden on the cli with:
--controller q35_pcie_root_ports=X
Use =0 to go back to the old behavior.

For the x86 + hvm case, failure to specify an --osinfo/--os-variant
OS, and failure to detect an OS from install media, will now throw
a big error:
```
--os-variant/--osinfo OS name is required, but no value was
set or detected.
This is now a fatal error. Specifying an OS name is required
for modern, performant, and secure virtual machine defaults.
If you expected virt-install to detect an OS name from the
install media, you can set a fallback OS name with:
--osinfo detect=on,name=OSNAME
You can see a full list of possible OS name values with:
virt-install --osinfo list
If your Linux distro is not listed, try one of generic values
such as: linux2020, linux2018, linux2016
If you just need to get the old behavior back, you can use:
--osinfo detect=on,require=off
Or export VIRTINSTALL_OSINFO_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1
```
The thread goes into more detail, but basically, for x86 VMs at least,
it's unlikely you will _ever_ want the default 'generic' behavior,
which gives gives no virtio, no PCIe, no usb3, IDE disks, slow
network devices, etc.
Many people use virt-install in scripts and CI, and this may now
cause breakage. The environment variable is there to help them
get things back to normal as quick as possible, but it will still
noisy up their logs with the warning to hopefully get them to make
a useful change to their virt-install invocations.
This is limited to x86, since that's where most of our defaults
historically differ, and where we can depend on libosinfo to give
the most accurate device info. This may be relevant to change for
other KVM architectures in the future.

Historically over time it's been more likely that an issue is reported
for osinfo-db missing the usb-tablet annotation. So for example we
always enable it for the default 'generic' case. We also want to
enable it for osinfo's 'unknown' case too.
Rather than add another check for that, let's just drop the osinfo
checking entirely. Some very old OS don't support usb-tablet, but
specifying it for those cases doesn't cause issues AFAIK, and users
can override it with `--input none` if they want.

Currently we skip the warning if the user explicitly requests
`--osinfo generic`. Upcoming changes to the defaults here will make
it tempting to specify `--osinfo generic` just to make things work,
and we want to dissuade that, so enable the warning for that case too.

Have the UI push users more towards better defaults, by discouraging

distro or OS version is not in the list.
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
Previously we tried to use a combination of distro class and version
number to produce a correct ordering that was independent of the
osinfo short ID. The original intent was to have correct ordering
for Windows entries in the virt-manager UI, since the short ID
values are all over the place.
Nowadays that doesn't really matter, since we weed out old
unsupported entries by default. And in the mean time, our current
sort method gives some weird results like interspersing silverblue
entries with fedora entries.
Using a natural/human sort is simpler and handles things pretty well.
Change the UI to sort by the OS label too which preserves some of
the good behavior of original method

The canonical tool for this is `osinfo-query os`, which we still
reference in the man pages and in the list output.
However, we are about to make missing --os-variant fatal for common

to figure out what an acceptable --os-variant value is.

it is not yet possible to start a node device with virt-manager

This is simply because the corresponding event emitted by libvirt

If python3-libguestfs is installed, virt-manager will use it
automatically to fetch guest OS icons, installed application lists,
and some other details.
In practice though the libguestfs integration usually doesn't work,
because most virt-manager created VMs have disks image in a location
only accessible to root, and our libguestfs usage needs the disks
accessible by the app user.
When it does work, we don't cache the results across app runs, so
libguestfs spawns lots of inspecting VMs every app startup, with
lots of log chatter and CPU spiking.
Then there's the confusion that app behavior can noticeably change
through the install of another package and an app restart.
I think it's simpler from a maintenance perspective to disable this
by default. If we fix those two big issues then maybe we can change
it back in the future

Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
This recommendation came from an internal discussion. The cases are
* For block storage. This means guest requests are passed through
to the host device, which seems a more reasonable default than
ignoring them
* For sparse disk images we will create. discard=unmap helps preserve
the sparseness of the disk image. If a user requests non-sparse, they
are likely more concerned with performance than saving disk space,
so we leave the default as is. We limit this to disk images we will
create, since that's the easiest case to check, and it's less clear
if we should change the behavior here for an arbitrary existing
disk image.

This is from Gerd's suggestions here:
https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/
When the guest supports it, we should use virtio. qxl is on the way
out, and the benefits are marginal and add a security and maintenance
burden.
While here, check domcaps that qxl or virtio are actually available.
Modern qemu has device modules, so device support may not be installed.
