virt-customize and friends have the following options:
--sm-register
--sm-unregister
--sm-attach
--sm-remove
--sm-credentials
These run `subscription-manager` commands inside the VM, which
is often necessary to get working package install for RHEL VMs.
These were added in 2015ish. Conceptually I understand why we
might want native support in the tools: virt-customize and
virt-builder have package management knowledge, and
for some distros subscription-manager is necessary.
But this support doesn't add much convenience over calling the commands
directly with `--run-command`. And on RHEL10, subscription-manager was
reworked and complete drops the backing commands for `--sm-attach` and
`--sm-remove`.
We _could_ make this code smarter, try to detect that situation,
and not error when subscription-manager is new enough. But if
subscription-manager itself doesn't care about maintaining that kind
of compat, I'm not sure why we should care either.
Instead we decided to just rip it all out and document the
alternatives.
