Cole Robinson 2f7931da63 createvol: Drop Allocation field in favor of checkbox 
Inspired by some discussion from here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759454

Most libvirt storage volume creation doesn't actually do anything
with allocation, besides interpreting cap == alloc and cap != alloc.
The exceptions are zfs volumes, and raw file volumes. But it's unclear
what the usecase is for the latter at all.

This drops the allocation spinner and adds checkbox in its place
'Allocate entire volume now'. When enabled, it sets cap == alloc.

We only show this for file volumes. For qcow2 it defaults to unselected
(sparse), for all others it defaults to selected. If it's not showing,
it defaults to selected.

Bundled with this change is showing this field for qcow2, where
we previously only allowed nonsparse here. Libvirt and qemu-img
support non-sparse qcow2 these days.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
