a97c56888c tests: Update firmware descriptor files
These are imported from Fedora 38's edk2 package.

The files that are being replaced date back to RHEL 7 and no
longer represent what libvirt is likely to encounter on an
actual production system.

Notably, the paths have all changed, with both x86_64 and
aarch64 builds now living under /usr/share/edk2 and the AAVMF
name being having been phased out.

Additionally, the 4MB qcow2 format builds have been introduced
on x86_64 and given high priority, effectively making qcow2
the default format across architectures.

The impact of these changes on the test suite is, predictably,
quite severe.

For the cases where paths to firmware files were explicitly
provided as part of the input, they have been adjusted so that
the modern paths are used instead of the legacy ones. Other
than that, input files have been left untouched.

The following expected changes can be seen in output files:

  * where qcow2 firmware was used on x86_64, Secure Boot
    support is now enabled;

  * all ABI_UPDATE test cases for x86_64 now use qcow2
    formatted firmware;

  * test cases where legacy paths were manually provided
    no longer get additional information about the firmware
    added to the output XML.

Some of the changes described above highlight why, in order
to guarantee a stable guest ABI over time and regardless of
changes to the host's configuration, it was necessary to move
firmware selection from VM startup time to VM creation time.

In a few cases, updating the firmware descriptors changes the
behavior in a way that's undesired and uncovers latent bugs
in libvirt:

  * firmware-manual-efi-secboot-legacy-paths ends up with
    Secure Boot disabled, despite the input XML specifically
    requesting it to be enabled;

  * firmware-manual-efi-rw-modern-paths loses the
    loader.readonly=no part of the configuration and starts
    using an NVRAM file;

  * firmware-manual-efi-nvram-template-nonstandard starts
    failing altogether with a fairly obscure error message.

We're going to address all these issues with upcoming changes.

5c129c8e7a tests: Use virt-4.0 machine type for aarch64
Using the unversioned machine type means that firmware
descriptors can't be used to discover additional information
about the chosen firmware build.

9567f3ba1f qemu: Move firmware selection from startup to postparse
Currently, firmware selection is performed as part of the
domain startup process. This mostly works fine, but there's a
significant downside to this approach: since the process is
affected by factors outside of libvirt's control, specifically
the contents of the various JSON firmware descriptors and
their names, it's pretty much impossible to guarantee that the
outcome is always going to be the same. It would only take an
edk2 update, or a change made by the local admin, to render a
domain unbootable or downgrade its boot security.

To avoid this, move firmware selection to the postparse phase.
This way it will only be performed once, when the domain is
first defined; subsequent boots will not need to go through
the process again, as all the paths that were picked during
firmware selection are recorded in the domain XML.

Care is taken to ensure that existing domains are handled
correctly, even if their firmware configuration can't be
successfully resolved. Failure to complete the firmware
selection process is only considered fatal when defining a
new domain; in all other cases the error will be reported
during startup, as is already the case today.

392292cd99 tests: don't use auto-generated NVRAM path in tests
By using the auto-generated NVRAM path in test data files, we won't see
bugs where a user specified path gets accidentally overwritten by a
post-parse callback, or VM startup. For example, this caused us to miss
the bug fixed by:

e88367095f qemu: populate <audio> element with default config
Currently the QEMU driver secretly sets the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable

 - VNC - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set
 - SPICE - always set to "spice"
 - SDL - always passthrough host env
 - No graphics - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set

The setting of the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable is done in the code which
configures graphics.

If no <audio> element is present, we now auto-populate <audio> elements
to reflect this historical default config. This avoids need to set audio
env when processing graphics.

3b8feb4793 qemu: capabilities: Replace aliased machine type by copy of the canonical machine
The previous approac of just purging the alias combined with the fact
that we filled in fake machine types in the test data meant that if a
test case used an alias machine type such as 'pc' or 'q35' it would not
properly resolve to the actual data returned by qemu.

This started to be a problem since the CPU driver now looks at the
default CPU reported with the machine type.

This patch replaces the original approach of just removing the alias by
replacing it with a copy of the machine type data which the type would
alias to. This means that we are using the real data while we don't
modify the test output after every qemu upgrade.

Additionally this change will allow us to drop adding the fake machine
types later.

The test fallout is from actually excercising the CPU driver with
actual data.
