Add kvm hidden functionality

Registered by daniel.pawlik

Since QEMU 2.1 there is added new feature: kvm_hidden.
It allows to hide the KVM hypervisor signature on the guest.
This enables disabling of some paravirualization features in the
guest as well as allowing certain drivers which test for the
hypervisor to load.

    Add hide hypervisor id on guest host

I'm approving this as a specless blueprint post-spec freeze for Pike since it's a single-patch isolated change (new image metadata to pass through to the KVM guest in the libvirt driver). It should be noted that if push comes to shove for other features to get reviewed, this should take lower priority as it came in later in the release, but I'm OK with allowing it in post spec freeze given it's small. -- mriedem 20170522
