Daniel P. Berrangé 9a578e1ac5 virtinst: prefer cores when exposing topology to the guest
In real world silicon though it is rare to have high socket/die counts,
but common to have huge core counts.

Some OS will even refuse to use sockets over a certain count.

Thus we prefer to expose cores to the guest rather than sockets as the
default for missing fields.

This matches a recent change made in QEMU for new machine types
