set vm_info to kvm for digitalocean instances

[Eric Desrochers]

[Impact]

digitalocean instance type is not a recognised VM type in Landscape and thus won't allow use of a Virtual Guest asset to register with.

The digitalocean type uses a KVM-family hypervisor (displaying "digitalocean" in sys_vendor which landscape-client doesn't recognise, thus cannot associate/map to kvm)

[Test Case]

 * Deploy a digitalocean instance
 * Look sys_vendor
   $ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
   digitalocean

 * Install landscape-client
 * Register the client to the desired landscape-server
 * Verify "VM Type" to be "kvm" under the computer info (in landscape-server)

[Regression Potential]

 * No regression anticipated, the fix is only adding a new entry mapping to recognize digitalocean instances.

I tested Eric's fix on a Digital Ocean droplet with 2 GB Memory and 40 GB Disk with Ubuntu 17.10 upgraded to Bionic with do-release-upgrade -d (because Bionic images are not available)

I'll sponsor Simon's debdiff found in LP: #1742531 as soon as landscape-client is consider valid for bionic.

For now it is stuck in bionic-proposed, waiting for the non-i386/amd64 builds to be back operational.

I tested that the new landscape-client package installs on Digital Ocean droplets with trusty, xenial and artful and registers in Landscape with the right information. Attaching screenshots.
