Libguestfs - Nov 2018 - [PATCH] v2v: docs: qemu-kvm-rhev only applies to RHEL 7 (RHBZ#1651977).

The previous support documentation said that for UEFI guests, when
using RHEL ≥ 7.3 host, you must use qemu-kvm-rhev.  For RHEL 8 this is
inaccurate since qemu-kvm-rhev no longer exists.

Since 7.3 is now an obsolete version of RHEL 7 we can change the text
to refer to RHEL 7 only:

    On RHEL 7, only qemu-kvm-rhev (not qemu-kvm) is supported.

Thanks: Ming Xie.

TBH, I would just drop this RHEL bit altogether, and have it only
downstream in RHEL (where it makes sense).
