Subject: guest: Add VirtIO input devices to s390x guests with graphics

We're not including any input devices in the generated XML
for s390x guests, and the results is that it's not possible
to interact with them short of using the serial console or
connecting through ssh, which is fine but probably not what
is expected when graphics are present.

USB input devices are not a good fit for s390x guests: USB
requires PCI, and PCI is not widely available or used on
s390x; VirtIO devices, on the other hand, are a perfect
match since s390x guests use basically no emulated devices
and rely on VirtIO for most functionality.
