fdc: change auto fallback drive for ISA FDC to 288
The 2.88 drive is more suitable as a default because
it can still read 1.44 images correctly, but the reverse
is not true.
Since there exist virtio-win drivers that are shipped on
2.88 floppy images, this patch will allow VMs booted without
a floppy disk inserted to later insert a 2.88MB floppy and
have that work.
This patch has been tested with msdos, freedos, fedora,
windows 8 and windows 10 without issue: if problems do
arise for certain guests being unable to cope with 2.88MB
drives as the default, they are in the minority and can use
type=144 as needed (or insert a proper boot medium and omit
type=144/288 or use type=auto) to obtain different drive types.
As icing, the default will remain auto/144 for any pre-2.6
machine types, hopefully minimizing the impact of this change
in legacy hw to basically zero.
