[Libguestfs] [v2v PATCH] convert/linux_kernels: fix virtio-socket check

The virtio-vsock support check from commit 05f780c16f01 ("v2v: support
configuration of viosock driver", 2021-02-26) is wrong; it looks for one
of two things:
- a module called "virtio_socket",
- a kernel config item called VIRTIO_SOCKET.

In reality, we need:
- the "vmw_vsock_virtio_transport" module,
- or the kernel config item VIRTIO_VSOCKETS.

Refer to Linux commit 304ba62fd4e6 ("VSOCK: Add Makefile and Kconfig",
2016-08-02).

Fix the parameters of the related "kernel_supports" call.

The same virt-v2v commit also missed extending the "print_kernel_info"
function; do that now as well.

I tested this patch by converting a RHEL-8.5 guest from libvirt to libvirt
(originally creating the guest with virt-builder). Relevant differences
between the "before" and "after" conversion logs:

I also checked the device with "lspci", and the module with "lsmod", in
the converted domain.
