The qemu driver does support qcow2 images for the firmware and nvram
pflash devices, but we do not do the full backing chain setup for them
as we don't expect that those images would actually have a backing
store. We don't tell that to qemu though which theoretically can lead to
qemu probing the backing store from the image itself. We don't want that
for now.
Deny qemu probing the backing store by installing a "terminator" empty
virStorageSource as 'backingStore' for pflash and nvram.

There are a number of cases in which we want to test both the
normal behavior and the ABI_UPDATE behavior for the same input
XML.
The way this is currently implemented is ad-hoc, and involves
symlinking the input XML as well as coming up with an
alternative name for the ABI_UPDATE variant: in most cases the
-abi-update suffix is added, but since this is not enforced
there are a couple of cases where we do something else instead.
To make things simpler and more consistent, implement the
naming convention at the macro level. This way, we no longer
need to create any symlinks for the input file, and the output
files are automatically named correctly.
