Commit 92b540dac9 introduce a counter to handle the timeouts in a
better way. But in case ccnt reaches 512, the current read character is
ignored - and if that character is part of the string that we are looking
for, the test fails to match the string.
Almost all of the tests look for a string within the first 512 bytes of
firmware output, so the problem never triggered there. But the hppa test
that has been added recently looks for a longer string at the very end of
a long output, thus there's a chance that we miss a character there so
that the test fails unexpectedly. Fix it by *not* reading and dropping a
character if the counter reaches 512.

QEMU only ships with some few firmware images, i.e. we can currently run
the boot-serial test only on a very limited set of machines. But writing
some characters to the default UART of a machine can often be done with
some few lines of assembly, so we add the possibility to the boot-serial
tester to use its own mini-kernels or mini-firmwares. We write such images
then into a file that we can load with the "-kernel" or "-bios" parameter
when we launch QEMU.

If the guest continuesly writes characters to the UART, we never leave
the inner while loop and thus never check whether we've reached the
timeout value. So if we fail to find the expected string in the UART
output, the test just hangs and never finishs. Use a counter to regularly
break out of the while loop to check the timeout.

We have several callers that were formatting the argument strings
themselves; consolidate this effort by adding new convenience
functions directly in libqtest, and update some call-sites that
can benefit from it.
Note that the new functions qtest_startf() and qtest_vstartf()
behave more like qtest_init() (the caller must assign global_qtest
after the fact, rather than getting it implicitly set). This helps
us prepare for future patches that get rid of the global variable,
by explicitly highlighting which tests still depend on it now.

A couple of tests for the work-in-progress 'powernv' machine type attempt
to test on POWER9 CPUs. However the POWER9 CPU support is incomplete and
this doesn't really work. In particular the firmware image we have
currently assumes the presence of the SDR1 register, which no longer exists
on POWER9. We only got away with this so far, because of a different bug
which added SDR1 to POWER9 even though it shouldn't be there.
For now, remove POWER9 testing of powernv, POWER8 testing will do for now
until the POWER9 support is more complete.

The new powernv machine ships with a firmware that outputs
some text to the serial console, so we can automatically
test this machine type in the boot-serial tester, too.
And to get some (very limited) test coverage for the new
POWER9 CPU emulation, too, this test is also started with
"-cpu POWER9".
