    Support setting a machine type to enable ARMv7/AArch64 guests to boot

    By default the libvirt driver does not specify a machine type. On ARM systems
    that results in a default type which will fail. This change provides two ways
    to have Nova specify a machine type in the libvirt configuration:

    1) The image can be tagged with the property "hw_machine_type=<type>"
    2) If Nova detects an armv7 or aarch64 processor it will use vexpress-a15 or
       virt machine types respectively (this can be overridden with an image
       property)
