The new pseries-4.0 machine type defaults to enabling Spectre/Meltdown
mitigations. Unfortunately those mitigations aren't implemented for TCG
because we're not yet sure if they're necessary or how to implement them.
We don't fail fatally, but we do warn in this case, because it is quite
plausible that Spectre/Meltdown can be exploited through TCG (at least for
the guest to get access to the qemu address space).
This create noise in our testcases though. So, modify the affected tests
to explicitly disable the mitigations to suppress these warnings.

global_qtest is only needed here for one readl(). Let's replace it
with qtest_readl() and we can remove the global_qtest variable here.

qtest_init() creates a new QTestState, and leaves @global_qtest alone.
qtest_start() additionally assigns it to @global_qtest, but
qtest_startf() additionally assigns NULL to @global_qtest. This makes
no sense. Replace it by qtest_initf() that works like qtest_init(),
i.e. leaves @global_qtest alone.

We have several callers that were formatting the argument strings
themselves; consolidate this effort by adding new convenience
functions directly in libqtest, and update some call-sites that
can benefit from it.
Note that the new functions qtest_startf() and qtest_vstartf()
behave more like qtest_init() (the caller must assign global_qtest
after the fact, rather than getting it implicitly set). This helps
us prepare for future patches that get rid of the global variable,
by explicitly highlighting which tests still depend on it now.

If QEMU has been compiled with the flags --enable-tcg-interpreter and
--enable-debug, the guest is running incredibly slow. The prom-env
test is approximately 10 times slower than normal in this case, and
it takes up to 500 seconds until the test with the pseries machine
finishs. While we should still look for ways to speed up the test
on the pseries machine here, let's bump the timeout to 600 seconds to
allow the test to pass with this unusal configuration already now.
Also move the pseries test into the "slow" category - since it is
really a very slow test.

The 32-bit TCG bug has been fixed a while ago, so we can enable
this test for sparc64 now, too. Unfortunately, OpenBIOS does not
work with the sun4v machine anymore (it needs to catch up with the
improved emulation), so we can only enable this test for the sun4u
machine right now.

Peter Maydell recently ran into time-out problems with the
prom-env test on a rather slow ARM board. To tackle this issue,
we can speed up the test by running QEMU with "-nodefaults" for
the pseries machine, so that SLOF has less devices to scan during
boot, and by using the "nvramrc" environment variable instead of
"boot-command", since this variable is evaluated earlier in the
boot process.
And to be really sure that we do not face such time out problems
again, let's also increase the time out value from 100s to 120s
instead.

Now that we also support the "-prom-env" parameter for the pseries
machine, we can enable this test for this machine, too. Since booting
with TCG is rather slow with the pseries machine, we also enable
the "-nodefaults" parameter for this test now, so that SLOF does not
have to check that much devices during boot and thus runs a little
bit faster.

Since the mac99 and g3beige PowerPC machines recently broke without
being noticed, it would be good to have a tester for "make check"
that detects such issues immediately. A simple way to test the firmware
of these machines is to use the "-prom-env" parameter of QEMU. This
parameter can be used to put some Forth code into the 'boot-command'
firmware variable which then can signal success to the tester by
writing a magic value to a known memory location. And since some of the
Sparc machines are also using OpenBIOS, they are now tested with this
prom-env-tester, too.
