[pve-devel] [PATCH v6 qemu-server] Prevent starting a 32-bit VM using a 64-bit OVMF BIOS

Instead of starting a VM with a 32-bit CPU type and a 64-bit OVMF image,
throw an error before starting the VM telling the user that OVMF is not
supported on 32-bit CPU types.
To obtain a list of 32-bit CPU types, refer to the builtin_x86_defs in
target/i386/cpu.c of QEMU. Exclude any entries that have the long mode
feature (CPUID_EXT2_LM).

Changes since v3:
* Move the cputypes_32bit list from QemuServer.pm to CPUConfig.pm
* Turn cputypes_32bit into a hash for lookup
* Create a helper get_cpu_bitness function in CPUConfig.pm
* Describe how the list of 32-bit CPU types was obtained
Changes since v4:
* Remove parentheses around post-if in get_cpu_bitness
Changes since v5:
* Refactor get_cpu_bitness to die instead of returning undef
* Pass cputype instead of the entire vm config to get_cpu_bitness
