This patch reverts commit 363fca413cae336a0ca86cbdcbb2f65fead948ee.
Only x86 will have a hard requirement for the --osinfo option.

Subject: virt-install: Require --osinfo for non-x86 HVM case too

It's generally not as valuable for non-x86 where we don't have the
history of supporting non-virtio OSes, but as time goes on it will
likely become more relevant for non-x86 arches, so let's make this
change now to get ahead of it.

 By default, virt-install will always attempt ``--osinfo detect=on``
