qemu: Automatically create NVRAM store
When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the master file is configurable in qemu.conf. Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the <nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in qemu.conf is not consulted.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
