Looking around virt-what does not seem to be installed by default on
anything I have here so it does not seem to add too much value. Feel
free to add it if you have a usecase.

Another option would be more or less copying what systemd-detect-virt
does, checking dmi, etc. But that is 500 lines of heuristics and
maintaining that would take take non-trivial amount of effort I would
rather like to spend on something more productive...
