This patch teaches virt/libvirt how to format filesystem on ephemeral device depending on os_type so that the behaviour matches with EC2's.

Such behaviour isn't explicitly described in the documentation, but it is confirmed by checking realy EC2 instances.  This patch introduces options virt_mkfs as multistring.
Its format is --virt_mkfs=<os_type>=<mkfs command> When creating ephemeral device, format it according to the option depending on os_type.  This addresses the bugs,
