Martin Schuppert c765a81ea4 Fix live-migration with libvirt >= 6.8.0
libvirt 6.8.0 introduces virt-ssh-helper which prepends the libvirt
ssh command with a "which virt-ssh-helper". libvirt used to first
check for `nc` (netcat). But these two libvirt commits[1][2] have now
changed it to first look for `virt-ssh-helper`, if it not available,
then fall back to `nc`.

The nova-migration-wrapper doesn't accept this command and denies
the connection.

Until nova-migration-wrapper is changed to allow the usage of
virt-ssh-helper, this change force to use "netcat" (`nc`) by
appending to the migration URI: "&proxy=netcat"

libvirt 6.8.0 introduces virt-ssh-helper which prepends the libvirt
ssh command with a "which virt-ssh-helper". libvirt used to first
check for `nc` (netcat). But these two libvirt commits[1][2] have now
changed it to first look for `virt-ssh-helper`, if it not available,
then fall back to `nc`. This trips up the 'nova-migration-wrapper' as
it does not support virt-ssh-helper atm.
Until this is implemented, this change force to use "netcat" (`nc`) by
appending to the migration URI: "&proxy=netcat"
