[libvirt] PATCH: Fix default bus type selection for disks

We recently added a new bus type attribute to disks to select between IDE,
SCSI, etc. This attribute is optional and many tools won't set it. In such
cases we default to IDE, which is clearly wrong. This patch updates it to
pick the default bus based on the prefix of the disk target name, so that
it DWIM, eg  hdXXX == IDE, sdXXX == SCSI, xvdXXX == Xen, etc.
