conf: add support for setting OEM strings SMBIOS data fields

The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.

As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like

    <oemStrings>
      <entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
      <entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
    </oemStrings>

use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

This is block 11 of SMBIOS. This element should appear once and
can have multiple <code>entry</code> child elements, each providing
arbitrary string data. There are no restrictions on what data can
be provided in the entries, however, if the data is intended to be
consumed by an application in the guest, it is recommended to use
the application name as a prefix in the string. (<span class="since">Since 4.1.0</span>)
