This means that if the user explicitly  added   removeable='off' to their
XML, we'll be dropping it.

If you add in

  VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_REMOVABLE_DEFAULT

then you can distinguish explicit on/off settings from the
default setting to address my earlier comment.

The VIR_ENUM macro generates 2 methods, so also add in

  virDomainDiskRemovableTypeFromString;

We should should not on the QEMU default setting - so make sure
you explicitly set both removeable=on or removeable=off.

Also, not all versions of QEMU support this property, so you'll
need to add a new capability flag in qemu_capabilities.h and
then update qemu_capabilities.c to detect whether it exists or
not.

Then in this code, if you find a QEMU which does not support the
flag, you should do  a virRaiseError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, ....)
to tell the user we can't do what they asked
