If we go this route I'd also enforce using the correct one when changing
or creating VMs via the API.

Two possible alternatives:
- auto-select the existing one in the backend; drawback: if we ever add
  another size for the AAVMF image we need to take extra/special care to
  avoid breaking old systems.

- build also an AAVMF image with 4MB, but one would need to check if this
  is really possible in the first place or if there are other drawbacks.
