[Libguestfs] [PATCH] aarch64: appliance: Use AAVMF (UEFI) if available for running the appliance.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com>
AAVMF is an open source UEFI implementation for aarch64 based on OVMF.
As aarch64 is heading for requiring UEFI even inside guests, if the
AAVMF firmware is installed on the host, use it as a hint that we
should boot the guest using AAVMF instead of the default "empty
machine".
Note this requires very recent AAVMF, libvirt, qemu. However that's
OK since it's only applicable to aarch64. On non-aarch64, this patch
does nothing.
Thanks: Laszlo Ersek for a lot of help getting this right.
