[libvirt] [PATCH V2 1/2] libxl: set default disk format in device post-parse

[Jim Fehlig]

When starting a domian, a libxl_domain_config object is created from
virDomainDef. Any virDomainDiskDef devices with a format of
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE are mapped to LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_RAW in the
corresponding libxl_disk_device, but the virDomainDiskDef format is
never updated to reflect the change.

A better place to set a default format for disk devices is the
device post-parse callback, ensuring the virDomainDiskDef object
reflects the default format.
