[Bug 1452016] [NEW] uvtool-libvirt needs arch specific templates

[Ryan Harper]

Public bug reported:

uvt-kvm currently has only one template for creating KVM guests.  The
template hardcodes x86-specific values which are not available on
non-x86 (arm and ppc64el).  Ideally, uvtool could do something like
/usr/share/uvtool/$arch-template.xml  though we'll need something to
handle things like uname -m returning ppc64le, and the "arch" of the
packages being ppc64el.

I'll attach a functional template for ppc64le that I can specify via
uvt-kvm create 's cli.

3. uvt-kvm create --memory 512 --cpu 1 --disk 10 test1  creates a kvm instance on ppc64el host.
4. failed to create the instances because the template wasn't valid for ppc64el guest.
