[pve-devel] [PATCH storage v3 05/10] ovf: implement parsing out firmware type

it seems there is no part of the ovf standard that handles which type of
bios there is (at least i could not find it). Every ovf/ova i tested
either has no info about it, or has it in a vmware specific property
which we parse here.
