Subject: [PATCH] virt-install: Document Secure Boot setups
Provide ready to use recipes for explicitly enabling and
explicitly disabling Secure Boot, as well as a pointer to
the more extensive information found on the libvirt website.
Setting loader_secure=yes is only one part of a proper Secure
Boot setup, so stop documenting it in the section about manual
firmware selection to avoid confusion.

Subject: [PATCH] virt-install: Recommend '--boot uefi'
Firmware autoselection is the way to go in most cases, so
recommend that instead of telling users that they should provide
all information manually.
