(this means: rtl8139 as nic and lsi as hardware controller)

XP & 2003 ISO E1000 drivers are missing or do not work with Qemu

The lsi SCSI controller was the default SCSI controller until recently and works with Win2003.
(NB: An IDE controller is still selected during installation for these OSes)

The aim is to provide an out-of-the box besser experience when using the Create Wizard.

NB: we have a distinct OS type between wxp and w2k3 in QemuServer.pm but since they
use the same defaults we can still wxp for both of those.
