Rather than requiring shutil module to get rid of the temporary directory we're creating for virt-install, let's use the TemporaryDirectory method instead which returns a file-like object which can be used to clean up the standard Python way. Although the internal exit handlers will take care of closing the temporary directories (and thus removing their contents) automatically, let's be explicit anyway and use the 'finally' clause to clean these up on both success and failure.
