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. Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
