[PATCH v5 5/6] iotests: Skip Python-based tests if QEMU does not support virtio-blk

[Thomas Huth]

We are going to enable some of the python-based tests in the "auto" group,
and these tests require virtio-blk to work properly. Running iotests
without virtio-blk likely does not make too much sense anyway, so instead
of adding a check for the availability of virtio-blk to each and every
test (which does not sound very appealing), let's rather add a check for
this a central spot in the "check" script instead (so that it is still
possible to run "make check" for qemu-system-tricore for example).
