Libvirt hardware policy from libosinfo
When launching an instance Nova needs to make decisions about how to configure
the virtual hardware. Currently these decisions are often hardcoded, or driven
by nova.conf settings, and sometimes by glance image properties. The goal of
this feature is to allow the user to specify the guest OS type and then drive
decisions from this fact, using the libosinfo database.
