Erik Skultety 480a6834c2 virtinst: cli: Provide a default value for the 'policy' argument
Policy is a 4-byte bitfield used to turn on/off certain behaviour within
the SEV firmware. For a detailed table of supported flags, see
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#launchSecurity.
Most of the flags are related to advanced features (some of them don't
even exist at the moment), except for the first 2 bits which determine
whether debug mode should be turned on and whether the same key should
be used to encrypt memory of multiple guests respectively.

>From security POV, most users will probably want separate keys for
individual guests, thus the value 0x03 was selected as the policy
default.
