0b4a72fd77 virt-convert: Reimplement it
We totally break CLI compat here, but the previous tool wasn't sustainable.
Instead, repurpose the tool as strictly converting external formats
like ovf/vmx to native libvirt XML, and launch the guest.

So we drop vmx/virt-image output, and virt-image input, and a slew of
command line options. I don't think anyone was depending on this in a
scripted fashion, so in practice I don't think anyone will care.

Add much more comprehensive unit tests while we are at it.
