Reading the docs/microvm.rst, microvm should use qboot as default, so
the test_x86_64_microvm() and test_x86_64_microvm_qboot() maybe are the
same (I didn't test them).

I traced loader_write_rom() and in both cases bios-microvm.bin got
loaded. While there may be a slight benefit in verifying that usage of
an explicit -bios works, I think I'll just drop the unnecessary test
case in patches 2 and 6 in v2.


When making that change to remove the test case from Patch2, it dawned
on me that it might be worth testing microvm with a different bios instead...

Thanks for doing these tests!

And thanks for reviewing the series.
