42a96cfd59 virt-install: add --destroy-on-exit
This makes the console window behave like a raw qemu command line:
when the user closes it, the VM is hard powered off.

7a2abb5abf installer: Remove --location nfs support
Removal was discussed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2018-May/msg00011.html

Basically I don't think many people use this, the feature is very
inflexible, it's hard to test, and users can essentially do it
themselves with a bit more effort.

708516c39e virtinst: add vcpupin support
Add vcpupin support to virt-install so that it can create guest
domains with statically allocated vcpu pinning towards a given cpuset.

Syntax: to pin vcpu=0 to cpuset="1,3" and vcpu=1 to cpuset=2

  --cputune vcpupin0.vcpu=0,vcpupin0.cpuset=1,3,vcpupin1.vcpu=1,vcpupin1.cpuset=2

generates below XML description for the guest domain.

  <cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu="0" cpuset="1,3"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="1" cpuset="2"/>
  </cputune>

40f70d4fe5 virt-install: add param cache.mode and cache.level for option '--cpu'
libvirt supports guest CPU cache by commit df13c0b, So add this feature
to virt-install to configure cpu L3 cache mode.

Currently, The valid values are 'passthrough', 'emulate' or 'disable'.
say:
  --cpu host-passthrough,cache.mode=passthrough
or
  --cpu $CPU,cache.mode=emulate,cache.level=3
or
  --cpu $CPU,cache.mode=disable

36230c9a18 devicepanic: use model instead of address.type
There are multiple models of the panic device, the address type is only
one and is valid only for "isa" model.

To not break the virt-install/virt-xml the command line parser needs to
be updated.  Before this patch there was only one parameter that
configured the "iobase".  Now the first parameter configures a model
but to keep it backward compatible it follows these rules:

1. there is only one parameter and it matches known model:

  --panic isa

  <panic model='isa'>
    <address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
  </panic>

2. there is only one parameter and it doesn't match any model:

  --panic 0x505

  <panic model='isa'>
    <address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
  </panic>

3. there are two parameters:

  --panic isa,iobase=0x505

  <panic model='isa'>
    <address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
  </panic>
