Yunming, can you please QA ack?

Test Versions:
cockpit-machines-197.1-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.2.0-2.module+el8.1.0+2983+b2ae9c0a.x86_64


Test Steps:
1. Login cockpit with a non-root user
2. Open the VM creation dialog
3. Change the Connection to 'QEMU/KVM User connection', then check 'Installation Source Type'

Test Results:
When Connection is set to 'QEMU/KVM User connection', 'Netwrok Boot(PXE)' in 'Installation Source Type' can not be selected.


According to the results, move the status to VERIFIED.
