[et-mgmt-tools] [PATCH 6/6] update virt-install options for specifying managed storage

[Cole Robinson]

The attached patch updates virt-install to allow specifying
libvirt managed storage.

--file can specified managed storage using:

- An absolute path to a managed volume
- A volume passed as --file volume:poolname:volname
- A pool to create storage on, using --file pool:poolname

--cdrom can use the first of the above two options (doesn't
make sense to create install media).

There is an obvious problem with this approach though:
Specifying pool:foo or volume:foo:bar could collide
with existing file names, and volume:foo:bar would
fail if the specified pool had a colon in it. This
was mostly my quick solution so I could test it all
out, i'm open to suggestions how to change it. Once an
interface is decided on I'll update the docs.

This is built on the patch to remove prompting from
virt-install, fyi.

Thanks,
Cole
