install.rst: update os version and add KVM notes


The 0.7 version was just an example, but since we're on 0.9 now,
updating the number cannot be wrong. The new admonition helps KVM users
to configure debootstrap correctly so that instances can be shutdown
cleanly.

.. admonition:: KVM
In order for debootstrap instances to be able to shutdown cleanly
they must install have basic acpi support inside the instance. Which
packages are needed depend on the exact flavor of debian or ubuntu
which you're installing, but the example defaults file has a
commented out configuration line that works for debian lenny and
squeeze::
EXTRA_PKGS="acpi-support-base,console-tools,udev"
kbd can be used instead of console-tools, and more packages can be
added, of course, if needed.
Alternatively, you can create your own OS definitions. See the manpage
:manpage:`ganeti-os-interface`.
