tests/vm: Allow to set qemu-img path
By default VM build test use qemu-img from system's PATH to create the image disk. Due the lack of qemu-img on the system or the desire to simply use a version built with QEMU, it would be nice to allow one to set its path. So this patch makes that possible by reading the path to qemu-img from QEMU_IMG if set, otherwise it fallback to default behavior.

By default, qemu-system-x86_64 is searched in $PATH to run the guest. If there
isn't one, or if it is older than 2.10, the test won't work. In this case,
provide the QEMU binary in env var: ``QEMU=/path/to/qemu-2.10+``.
