   XenServer 7.1.2 (7.1 CU2) Hosts
   
   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   There are no entries in guest_os_hypervisor for XenServer 7.1 CU2 (the current LTS XenServer) which means guests are booted using the "Other Install Media" template.  Amongst other things, this means that PV guests boot as HV, but also likely means guests won't get XenServer optimisations for their OS type.
   
   Perhaps a better way rather than just inserting specific rows for this version would be to add logic to ignore the revision number in a version matching pattern x.y.z if there are no rows found, e.g. look for row with version = 7.1.2, fallback to row with version = 7.1.0 (would still work if XenServer is updated without CloudStack being updated).

   ##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   <!--
   For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
   
   For new features, show how the feature would be used.
   -->
   Install Fresh CloudStack instance with new XenServer 7.1.2 hosts.  Wait for CS to try to deploy system VMs.

   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   System VMs should boot using the Debian Wheezy 7.0 (64-bit) XenServer template

   ~~~
   
   ##### ACTUAL RESULTS
   <!-- What actually happened? -->
   System VMs should boot using the Other Install Media XenServer template (which fails to boot in a virtual environment using XenServer running on VMs, only capable of running PV).
