Cole Robinson 9f297eda5b virtinst: guest: drop 'continue_install' concept
continue_install is intended to facilitate windows XP style 3 stage
installs:

  stage 1: initial dos style disk setup, reboot
  stage 2: actual full installer, reboot
  stage 3: OS is functional, virt-install is done

The code assumed that we needed to keep the cdrom as the primary
boot device for the second stage, so virt-install/virt-manager needed
to hang around through the second stage run, wait until the VM shutdown,
then encode the final XML to boot of the disk.

Windows is and always has been smart enough to handle that case though...
after the initial boot, if we set the hd as the primary boot device
for stage 2, the disk bits that windows already installed will make
use of the cdrom as necessary. So the entire premise of continue_install
is irrelevant. Maybe back when it was added, when xen didn't even have
working ACPI support, this served a purpose, but I'm pretty sure we
can safely drop it nowadays.
