pc/q35: set SMBIOS entry point type to 'auto' by default

Use smbios-entry-point-type='auto' for newer machine types as a workaround for Windows not detecting SMBIOS tables. Which makes QEMU pick SMBIOS tables based on configuration (with 2.x preferred and fallback to 3.x if the former isn't compatible with configuration) Default compat setting of smbios-entry-point-type after series for pc/q35 machines: * 9.0-newer: 'auto' * 8.1-8.2: '64' * 8.0-older: '32' Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2008 Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ani Sinha <anisinha@redhat.com> Tested-by: Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com> Message-Id: <20240314152302.2324164-20-imammedo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.
