Commit 258e4b718d5d introduced the "copy_from_libosinfo" branch in
"copy_drivers" with higher priority than the existent
"copy_from_virtio_win".
This introduced a conflict with the documentation ("docs/virt-v2v.pod").
The documentation stated (and still states) that the VIRTIO_WIN env var,
when set, dictates where virt-v2v look for the virtio-win drivers. The
conflict is that, even in case we set VIRTIO_WIN, virt-v2v still consults
libosinfo first.
Skip the "copy_from_libosinfo" branch in case VIRTIO_WIN is set, plus
explain in the documentation that VIRTIO_WIN, when set, overrides
libosinfo.
NOTE: the necessity of this fix is made apparent by the next patch in the
series. Namely, "copy_from_libosinfo" has a bug in the architecture
filter. Once we fix that bug in the next patch, *and* install (e.g.)
"virtio-win-1.9.24-4.el8.noarch" on the conversion host, the "i-ova"
test
case will suddenly prefer the virtio drivers exposed via libosinfo, in
spite of the "tests/test-v2v-i-ova.sh" script explicitly setting
VIRTIO_WIN to "test-data/fake-virtio-win". The symptom is that the pvpanic
device will be enabled in the domain XML, due to it being supported by the
actual (not fake) virtio-win drivers.
