[Libguestfs] [PATCH] v2v: warn when the guest has hostdev devices (RHBZ#1472719)

virt-v2v obviously cannot convert this kind of devices, since they are
specific to the host of the hypervisor.  Thus, emit a warning about the
presence of passthrough host devices, so at least this can be noticed
when converting a guest.
