[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Emit bootindex even for direct boot

Direct boot (using kernel, initrd, and command line) is used by
virt-install/virt-manager for network install. While any bootindex has
no direct effect since -kernel is always first, we need it as a hint for
SeaBIOS to present disks in the same order as they will be presented
during normal boot.
