9a2d41569f use newest arm64 UEFI and amd64 OVMF CODE/VARS firmware (#81)
it updates the arm64 UEFI firmware to a version newer than 2023.11,
as running on qemu >= 9.0 can trigger a bug in the older versions of the EDK2 guest firmware,
causing Synchronous Exception and potential bootloops.

While doing so it updates the amd64 OVMF firmware, which now has removed
support for the 2M firmware and only supports the 4M one.
The 4M OVMF firmware comes with split CODE and VARS images, which need
to be loaded as pflash drives in the qemu vm, rather than via the -bios
flag.

For more details on the migration see: https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/edk2/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/howto-2M-to-4M-migration.md

6bec690fe5 add embedded version of edk2 firmware files
Whether edk2 is available on operating systems varies,
so the best choice is to embed the amd64/arm64 EFI files.

We need these files to boot amd64 images in EFI mode,
and also for arm64 images to boot at all.
