[Bug 1788219] Re: vm_type detection for nutanix cloud instances

[Simon Poirier]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * The dmi id for Nutanix cloud instances was added to the detection list
     for it to be properly detected as KVM.
  
   [Test Case]
  
   * create a vm (uvt-kvm create --no-start vm_name release=xenial)
-  * virsh edit vm_name (and create or update sysinfo fields like https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/C5mkc2B7rx/)
+  * virsh edit vm_name (and create or update sysinfo manufacturer to be "nutanix", like https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/C5mkc2B7rx/)
   * install landscape-client/common and call landscape-config
   * see the computer is detected as kvm
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * The hypervisor detection change is both trivial and similar to
  previous changes and is specific enough not to conflict with other
  hypervisors.
  
  [Other Info]
  
   * Patches are already in the upstreams trunk.
   * Changes have been tested by some affected users
