Inspired by some discussion from here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759454
Most libvirt storage volume creation doesn't actually do anything
with allocation, besides interpreting cap == alloc and cap != alloc.
The exceptions are zfs volumes, and raw file volumes. But it's unclear
what the usecase is for the latter at all.
This drops the allocation spinner and adds checkbox in its place
'Allocate entire volume now'. When enabled, it sets cap == alloc.
We only show this for file volumes. For qcow2 it defaults to unselected
(sparse), for all others it defaults to selected. If it's not showing,
it defaults to selected.
Bundled with this change is showing this field for qcow2, where
we previously only allowed nonsparse here. Libvirt and qemu-img
support non-sparse qcow2 these days.

See 15a6a7e210
The idea behind virt-manager's sparse vs nonsparse default, is that if
the user selected 'raw' for as the default image format, assume they
want to maximize performance, so fully allocate the disk.
qcow2 didn't support anything except sparse, so the sparse=True vs
sparse=False made no difference. So we always set sparse=False
Then qcow2 grows non-sparse support, and virt-manager is suddenly
defaulting to it, which is not the intention.
Default to sparse when requested format isn't raw

The --xml option allows users to request raw XML edits to virt-install
or virt-xml generated XML. This gives users a bit of a workaround
incase we don't have proper support for some XML property. The --xml
option can gain more features in the future if it makes sense, like
setting XML namespaces for example.
Basic usage is like: virt-install --xml ./@foo=bar ...
Which will change the generated <domain> XML to have
<domain foo='bar' ...
virt-xml works similarly. It can only be combined with --edit currently.
This only works with xpaths rooted against the entire document.

As part of making virt-manager cooperate better with external viewers,
add an option to disable console autoconnect. When opening a VM window
for a running VM, you'll see a 'Connect to console' button in place
of the spice/vnc viewer. Click that and things proceed like normal.
This is useful to prevent virt-manager from disconnecting a virt-viewer
instance that's already attached to a VM

When a VM window is launched for the first for a VM, currently we
set the top window size to 800x600 which is small and arbitrary and
is universally shrinks the viewer too much to fit any OS installer
I can find.
Instead do some hacks to resize the window to accomodate a viewer
widget of 1024x768 which seems to be what QXL graphics give us for
win10 and Fedora 32 installers. So for new VMs hitting the OS installer
we don't see scrollbars.

Right now this is tied to widget focus, which is too strong. This

Users are fond of using "--tpm /dev/tpm0" to create a TPM device

Quoting from that:
"""
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
"""
Nothing has changed since then, so here is the removal.

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
XML.
We haven't defaulted to this for a long time, setting a static keymap
is suboptimal generally, and the file parsing code is not up to date
for modern host config. So let's remove it
The hostkeymap module is now unused, so remove it and all the custom
testing for 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.
