support is introduced.

This fails to be parsed because libvirt doesn't yet know about
the architecture, but thanks to the recent improvements this
is a merely a local failure rather than bringing everything
else down with it.

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The files that are being replaced date back to RHEL 7 and no
longer represent what libvirt is likely to encounter on an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

Right now we're checking that firmware descriptor masking works
as intended by creating an empty file matching 60-ovmf-sb.json
in name.
However, that firmware descriptors contains the details for a
perfectly valid and quite common situation: Secure Boot being
supported by the firmware build, but being effectively disabled
by the lack of certificates in the NVRAM template.
Unmask that firmware descriptor, and instead create a dummy one
that has higher priority than all other OVMF builds and points
to paths that are obviously incorrect, which should make it
easy to notice it getting accidentally unmasked in the future.

Now that we ignore all firmwares that are not in raw format
while performing autoselection, we can have descriptors for
firmware builds in QCOW2 format without breaking anything.
Note that the descriptors are arranged so that they have the
highest priority on aarch64, but the lowest one on x86_64.
This matches the expectation that QCOW2 will quickly be
adopted as the default on aarch64, where its use produces
significant benefits in terms of memory usage, while x86_64
will likely stick with raw for the foreseeable future.

Currently the 'nvram_template' entry is mandatory when parsing the
firmware descriptor based on flash. QEMU is extending the firmware
descriptor spec to make the 'nvram_template' optional, depending
on the value of a new 'mode' field:
- "split"
* "executable" contains read-only CODE
* "nvram_template" contains read-write VARS
- "combined"
* "executable" contains read-write CODE and VARs
* "nvram_template" not present
- "stateless"
* "executable" contains read-only CODE and VARs
* "nvram_template" not present
In the latter case, the guest OS can write vars but the
firmware will make no attempt to persist them, so any changes
will be lost at poweroff.
For now we parse this new 'mode' but discard any firmware
which is not 'mode=split' when matching for a domain.
In the tests we have a mixture of files with and without the
mode attribute.
