[cloud] Fix virt-install --cloud-init for genericcloud images

The cloud-init user-data is, by default (for x86), provided to the guest as a SATA connected CDROM drive. Without this change, the cloud-amd64 kernel is unable to detect it because it's missing AHCI support.

Possible workarounds/alternatives:

  • Pass --machine pc to virt-install, causing the (virtual) CDROM drive to use IDE instead of SATA.
  • Use the generic instead of the genericcloud image

Closes: #1008656, #992119
