virt-install requires storage pool driver which is not available on this
system. Switched to direct virsh define using XML template which works
without storage pools.
Changes:
- Replaced virt-install with virsh define + start
- Pre-create disk with qemu-img before VM definition
- Copy ISO to /var/lib/libvirt/images with proper ownership
- Use XML template with variable substitution
- VM now appears in virt-manager under QEMU/KVM connection
VM knel-football-test is now running and visible in virt-manager.

- All virsh commands now use qemu:///session explicitly
- Removed direct QEMU fallback (libvirt only)
- Added VM XML template in vm/template.xml with variable substitution
- Template generates UUID and MAC address dynamically
- VM is now properly defined AND started in libvirt
- Fixed vm_destroy, vm_console, vm_status, vm_is_running, vm_capture_screen
- Added UUID fallback using /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid
Fixes issue where VMs were created but not visible/running in virt-manager.
