Revert "add_drive_ro adds readonly=on option if available." (RHBZ#617200).
Adding the readonly=on option is not so clever. This causes
qemu to present the disk as read-only to the guest. (The
expected behaviour of snapshots=on,readonly=on was that it
would open the disk O_RDONLY but present a writable disk to
the guest).
Since the guest sees a read-only disk, we are unable to do any
recovery if a filesystem on the disk is inconsistent. This basically
prevents most accesses to live disk images.
What we really want is a qemu option which presents a writable
disk to the guest, but only opens the disk on the host side with
O_RDONLY, to alleviate the udev bug RHBZ#571714.

work.
I have tested that the blkid commands themselves work on RHEL 5.

Rely on new augeas lens for modules.conf and conf.modules
Latest augeas includes a lens for /etc/modules.conf. If this new lens is
present, the code to force the Modprobe lens to try to match /etc/modules.conf
as well results in /etc/modules.conf not being parsed at all. This results in
modprobe_aliases in virt-inspector output being empty.
This change is equivalent to change
cfd28d1140393667913689b7b9bcf21c8bfe592c
from virt-v2v.
An effect of this change is that the Modules_conf augeas lens is now required
for correct operation on guests which use /etc/modules.conf.
