Re: [libvirt] [jenkins-ci PATCH] guests: optionally wait for installation completion

The install command is hardcoded to put the virt-install command into the background. It is useful to be able to wait for completion, so you know when you can go onto the package update step of setup, without having to check back to see if the guest has finished installing. Using --noautoconsole is preferred syntax for virt-install, avoiding a warning about use of "--wait 0". Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
