detect-virt: detect in best-heuristic order

afaict, this will fix a regression caused by commit 75f86906c5.
Where we used to report "kvm" before that patch, without this patch,
we would only report "qemu". The reason is because cpuid detection
must come before dmi detection. Also, both can safely come before
other xen heuristics. Untested.
