Virtuozzo containers boot from volume

Registered by Maxim Nestratov

Currently, in case boot from volume is chosen for Virtuozzo container ("parallels" libvirt driver hypervisor type with vm_mode=exe) an incorrect libvirt xml config is generated with two disk assigned to the instance. One for filesystem type disk and the other for bootable block device following in incorrect order which makes it impossible to boot shuch instances. This change intends to address this issue.
