[et-mgmt-tools] [RFC] virt-manager: Add boot device selection and autostart option

I've thrown together some ui to expose a few guest boot options
in virt-manager:

    autostart  : start the guest on host boot up
    boot device: method to use to boot up guest (cd, floppy, etc)

Autostart is currently only supported in libvirt for qemu based
guests (though I've been told it is doable for xen). Choosing
a boot device is only supported for full virt guests, though
specifying boot type for fv xen guests on rawhide is broken (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435970).

Patch attached, with a few screenshots as well. Any feedback is
appreciated.

Thanks,
Cole
