The problem is: libvirt treats an ISO file as format 'raw' instead of 
'iso' for some storage pool types because that those file are not listed 
for the template creation.

We could scan the file using isoinfo.IsoImage to verify it is an ISO 
file - but it will take too much time to scan each file.

If user selects to create a template using an ISO file the only support 
type is ISO.
