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:
