`bootDisk` was generated manually in a runVM command, this is now refactored using `make-disk-image` facility, enabling: - a better name: `systemImage` rather than `bootDisk`, i.e. bootDisk contained more than only the boot files in fact - support for arbitrary additional paths & contents with permissions & ownership, not exposed yet through public API though - UEFI firmware manipulation at make-disk-image time, e.g. SecureBoot can be tested - EFI firmware usage is simplified - bootDisk / rootDisk are clearly separated to support the case when we do not want the default filesystem, but still want a bootloader, or do not want bootloader but still want the default root filesystem, etc. - no multiple disk when it is not needed
- OVMF firmware can be compiled with SMM support ; - make-disk-image can enforce SMM ; - QEMU test infrastructure can enforce SMM ; - disable by default because it seems broken on OVMF

Description of changes
This is a PR being worked on, which should introduce a new stub (*) after systemd-boot, to boot a NixOS system with SecureBoot while keeping the nice properties about having a small ESP and many generations.
(*): So the idea has came while discussing it with @nikstur @blitz
