* qemu: Make firmware selection persistent
Up until now, firmware autoselection has been performed at domain startup
time: as a result, changes to the JSON firmware descriptors present on the
system could have translated to a different firmware being chosen for
subsequent startups of the same domain, potentially rendering it unbootable
or lowering the security guarantees. Firmware selection now happens once,
when the domain is defined, and its results are stored in the domain XML
to be reused, unchanged, for all subsequent boots.
