The original goal of this patch was to move some information that is
known to virt-manager to libosinfo so that we can use libosinfo instead
of hard-coding it.
It wasn't my intention to support "is-snapshot" with this series.  I
needed this patch just to get tests working again and follow the
"is-snapshot" design that was suggested to me in the last iteration.

It would make more sense to me that we add these new OSes without
depending from another feature that is still work-in-progress.

It will be a trivial change to update those once is-snapshot is there.
