Currently if you want to enable UEFI firmware for a guest
you need to know about the hypervisor platform specific
firmware path. This does not even work for all platforms,
as hypervisors like VMWare don't expose UEFI as a path,
they just have a direct config option for turning it on
or off.
This adds ability to use the much simpler:
<loader firmware="uefi|bios"/>
to choose the different firmware types.
