libguestfs: trace: inspect_os = []

Inspection is failing to find any installers in the
disk image.  As it's an installer, not a full operating system,
virt-builder --get-kernel isn't expected to work.

Nevertheless it would be nice for inspection not to fail.

The easiest thing is to grab the ISO, run `isoinfo' on it,
and supply the information to the libosinfo project (check that
they don't have it already), since for installer disks libguestfs now
uses data from libosinfo to identify them.
