Allow disabling ephemeral disk formatting
[This came out of a downstream discussion with Red Hat OSP developers.]
Currently, libguestfs is only used in two places:
- file injection and
- ephemeral disk creation
The initial suggestion here is to add an option such as `default_
An example use-case of this is: if you're shipping Nova Compute services in a container, you might want to reducing dependencies that are pulled in by libguestfs, if you have no need for it in the container. This reduces the Nova Compute container footprint.
