Nicolai Ruckel 35b1945522 Preserve UEFI NVRAM variable store

Preserve NVRAM variable store during stop/start, hard reboot, live
migration, and volume retype.

This does not affect cold migration or shelve.

For UEFI guests (hw_firmware_type=uefi), every time the instance is
started, the UEFI variable storage for that instance
(/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/instance-xxxxxxxx_VARS.fd) is deleted
and reinitialized from the default template.

The changes are based on this patch by Jonas Schäfer to preserve the
vTPM state:
