Subject: [PATCH] RHEL 7: Emphasize libguestfs-winsupport package
 (RHBZ#627468).

This RHEL-only patch changes the error messages when the
inspection code cannot find an operating system inside the guest
image.  For a Windows guest this may happen because the user has not
installed the separate 'libguestfs-winsupport' package.  Therefore we
emphasize that the user may need to install this package.

Notes:

(1) In RHEL there are two pieces of inspection code, the old Perl code
(deprecated upstream) and the new C core inspection API.  Therefore
this patch has to touch two places with essentially the same change.

(2) This patch doesn't try to be clever and detect if it was a Windows
guest.  This should reduce the chance of failure.

Output from (Perl) virt-inspector now looks like this:

 $ virt-inspector disk.img
 No operating system could be detected inside this disk image.

 This may be because the file is not a disk image, or is not a virtual machine
 image, or because the OS type is not understood by virt-inspector.

 If you feel this is an error, please file a bug report including as much
 information about the disk image as possible.

 RHEL notice
 -------------
 libguestfs will return this error for Microsoft Windows guests if the
 separate 'libguestfs-winsupport' package is not installed. If the
 guest is running Microsoft Windows, please try again after installing
 'libguestfs-winsupport'.

Output from guestfish (ie. C core inspection API) now looks like this:

 $ guestfish -i disk.img
 guestfish: no operating system was found on this disk

 RHEL notice
 -------------
 libguestfs will return this error for Microsoft Windows guests if the
 separate 'libguestfs-winsupport' package is not installed. If the
 guest is running Microsoft Windows, please try again after installing
 'libguestfs-winsupport'.
