This was originally added for fedora to give better names in the UI,
but that's a loose reasoning IMO. The pattern was extended to
other -unknown distros but instead of maintaining that going
forward I'd rather just remove the magic for it.
As some enterprise distros adopted the "unknown" approach in osinfo-db,
and those usually support different versions at the same time, there may
be different "unknown" entries (like rhel-unknown, rhel-8-unknown,
rhel-7-unknown, and so on) for the very same distro.
This situation can easily happen when some ISO matches, for exmaple,
"rhel-unknown" and then the latest one selected would be
"rhel-8-unknown".
In order to avoid this situation from happening, let's just ignore the
"unknown" entries when calling latest_regex().

Due to OpenSUSE's decision of versioning their OS as 11.x, 12.x, 42.x,
15.x, we have to add a specific check in latest_regex() in order to make
sure we skip the 42.x series in the sorted list of OSes when returning
the OS name to the user.

Currently osinfo-db has "unknown" entries for fedora, opensuse and
asianux. Considering this list may grow even more at some point, let's
just make the check more generic and use it for all of them instead of
keeping it for fedora only.
Changes have also been done in urldetect and tests_url, as those also
used latest_fedora_version().

There's been various discussions about changing the x86 default
from 'pc' to 'q35' over the years, but it's unlikely to happen
at the qemu or libvirt level for compatibility reasons. So
let's start using it for new enough OS that support it.
At some point in the future it could be a good idea to drop the _aliases
mapping altogether; it will be hard to do so, in case the users are not
informed that they are using a deprecated ID.

This is just a big nasty commit.
Turn the OS inspection page into an always available page that
shows the libosinfo name from the domain metadata XML. Use oslist.py
and have it absorb more of the common behavior needed by create.py
and details.py. Add UI tests for it all
We shouldn't concern ourselves with whether the OS supports qemu_ga
out of the box, just set up the channel regardless, as long as
virtio-serial is supported.
This adds the channel for some aarch64 cases which didn't have OS
specified, but that's desired IMO
This case will still work, but be a bit slower, which is fine. Nowadays
-M virt is much better for virt usage and nearly everyone is using that,
so save us the complication. This was really only useful when
bootstrapping arm virt support
The current OS distro selection UI is fairly cumbersome to use. First
you need to decide on a variant, then decide a distro and then look for
the version you want. The list is filtered by default so only a subset
of OS are displayed. So for less common distros you'll then need to
start again and tell it to show all OS to try to find the one you want.
The core problem is that we have an incredibly large list and want to
make it easy for the user to find a specific entry. The modern UI
paradigm for this problem is to provide interactive search with
live updated results. The current UI does provide an interactive search
facility on the OS version results, but you still have to first select a
variant to be able to use the search which is unhelpful.
This patch attempts to better apply the search UI design to the OS selection
problem. We get rid of the notion of variants, distros and version, and
provide a single text entry box in which the user can type a few letters
of the OS name. As they type, a popover displays the matching results
filtered on OS name. By default end of life OS will be hidden, so in
general there will only be a small handful of results left after just
typing a few characters. This makes it very quick to find and select the
desired OS, without needing to provide a mutli-step navigation hierarchy.

- pick only the latest version for centos6.x, centos7.x, and
freebsd11.x; the latter two have only one element each currently,
so this is preparing for future versions
- bump the minimum supported version of Fedora to 24
- enable also mageia >= 5, and centos >= 7.0, since they are supported
Hopefully in the future we can reduce these checks (maybe accepting
directly some families), but for now improve our hacks.
Use virtio+accel3d by default whenever spice+gl is chosen. This allows
to easily set up accelerated gpu VM.

Many old OSes don't have an EOL date tracked with libosinfo, and
we just treat them as 'supported'. So the default distro list in
the create wizard is wayyy too huge and contains all sorts of
crazy options.
Assume lack of EOL date means 'unsupported', and add a manual whitelist
for some still common distros. We will fix this at the libosinfo level.
We used to enable this for Fedora 18+, because systemd would
autostart a getty on /dev/hvc0 which made 'virsh console' work
out of the box for a login prompt. However now in Fedora
virtio-console is compiled as a module, and systemd doesn't
detect it in time to start a getty. So the benefit of using
it as the default is erased, and we reverted to this.

The previous setup of having an OS register a preferred videomodel is
overly simplistic and doesn't cover all our needs. Rework it without any
logic change for now, we will alter the logic in subsequent commits.
Do not load the devices data for each OS as most of this data will

I've noticed that virt-manager took more time to startup after we
started reading OSes data from libosinfo.
Now the libosinfo data is loaded the first time it is accessed,
without pre-loading it.
This could be further improved by not loading completely an _OsVariant
object but only the data that is requested.

This could cause issues for people trying unattended non-graphical
kickstart installs and expecting ttyS0 in the guest to be hooked
up to the default console. So to get back the default behavior, you
can do:
--console pty
Some ARM bits we are about to add would substantially complicate the
current setup, so move all the logic into guest.py where we can be
more flexible. I think this is closer to what libosinfo will give us
as well.
- Unify looking up osdict values
- Have Guest.py pass in its defaults, not encoding them in osdict
- Explicitly specify every device parameter that osdict handles, rather
than have some psuedo magic dictionary format to handle it
Once upon a time solaris entries has typename="unix", but were moved to
typename="solaris". We maintained a link to the unix type for back compat,
but now the distinction doesn't matter at all, so drop it.
We separate all the provisioning bits to diskbackend.py. VirtualDisk
users now need to explicitly opt in to storage creation by using
set_create_storage().
validation is no longer done automatically, users must call the
validation() command.
__init__ drops all extra parameters.
This will eventually get us to a point where we can unify the manual
XML building and XML parsing machinery, and get consistent validation
behavior between devices.
