Cole Robinson ee9f93074b Remove virt-convert 
This was raised here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html

Quoting from that:

"""
virt-convert takes an ovf/ova or vmx file and spits
out libvirt XML. It started as a code drop a long time ago that could
translate back and forth between vmx, ovf, and virt-image, a long dead
appliance format. In 2014 I converted it to do vmx -> libvirt and ovf ->
libvirt which was a CLI breaking change, but I never heard a peep of a
complaint. It doesn't seem to do a particularly thorough job at its
intended goal, I've seen 2-3 bug reports in the past 5 years and
generally it doesn't seem to have any users. Let's kill it. If anyone
has the desire to keep it alive it could live as a separate project
that's a wrapper around virt-install but there's no compelling reason to
keep it in virt-manager.git IMO
"""

Nothing has changed since then, so here is the removal.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
