Let's not add this to tests/guests, since this disk image is only used
for a single test in the v2v/ subdirectory.

You can change the new test in the v2v/ subdirectory so it creates (or
is supplied with) the XML.  There are various tests which work like
that already - eg: v2v/test-v2v-cdrom.*

Part of this patch is a refactoring -- moving the overlay_dir
assigning from within the loop up to here.  Put that into a separate
commit, as it's trivial to review on its own.

The overlays array shouldn't be an empty list in the case where we are
doing an in_place conversion.  It should be None (and the other case
should be Some overlays).

However this makes me wonder if there is a better way to structure
this code.  As it stands, when using --in-place, the output object is
set (pretty much randomly) to Output_libvirt.output_libvirt.  So a
bunch of methods on Output_libvirt.output_libvirt are called which
don't make sense.

In virt-sparsify, --in-place is handled essentially by a completely
different main function in a different module, and that might be a
less error-prone way to do things here too.

Change the if statements around so that

  if not in_place then
    (* old code *)
  else
    (* new code *)

I envisage that the not in_place route will remain the usual way to
use virt-v2v.

But as I said above, a separate in_place.ml file may be better.

This appears in the wrong place in the list of options (sorted by 'p'
rather than 'i').  I don't know if this was intentional, but I think
it's wrong.
