RFC acceptance tests: Test firmware checking debug console output

Hi,

This RFC series add simple acceptance tests which boot SeaBIOS and EDK2 on the pc and virt/aarch64 default machines

Still PoC but can be useful for the Avocado team to test the multi-arch targets.

Since v1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-09/msg03780.html
- more Pythonic context managers (Cleber)
- use wait_for (Cleber)
- use workdir (Cleber)
- use Avocado 65.0 "-p" option for aarch64 (Cleber)
- fixed Q35 incorrect description in cover (Laszlo)
- use ArmVirtQemu name (Laszlo)

Next:
- address Laszlo comments about correct QEMU options and flash images
- use FDDrainer
- refactor common code in setUp()
- use new avocado.utils.archive gzip features (Cleber)
- test x86_64/aarch64 'arch' tags (Cleber)
- build EDK2 flash images (Laszlo)
- include variable store flash image (Laszlo)
- use virtual disk with UEFI shell script (Laszlo)
- improve OVMF binary selection (releases / snapshots) (Laszlo)
- check ISO images (Laszlo -> Cleber)
- add aexpect tests (Cleber?)

Regards,

Phil.
