Prefer to use the tcg accelarator if it is available: This is our only
real smoke test for tcg, and fast enough to use it for that.

Currently, at least x86_64 and s390x support building with --disable-tcg.
Instead of forcing tcg (which causes the test to fail on such builds),
allow to use kvm as well.

a qemu with an empty s390 guest will exit very quickly. This races
against the testsuite reading from the console pipe leading to
intermittent test suite failures. Using -no-shutdown will keep
the guest running.

A couple of tests for the work-in-progress 'powernv' machine type attempt
to test on POWER9 CPUs. However the POWER9 CPU support is incomplete and
this doesn't really work. In particular the firmware image we have
currently assumes the presence of the SDR1 register, which no longer exists
on POWER9. We only got away with this so far, because of a different bug
which added SDR1 to POWER9 even though it shouldn't be there.
For now, remove POWER9 testing of powernv, POWER8 testing will do for now
until the POWER9 support is more complete.

The new powernv machine ships with a firmware that outputs
some text to the serial console, so we can automatically
test this machine type in the boot-serial tester, too.
And to get some (very limited) test coverage for the new
POWER9 CPU emulation, too, this test is also started with
"-cpu POWER9".

Some of the machines that we have got a firmware image for write
some output to the serial console while booting up. We can use
this output to make sure that the machine is basically working,
so this adds a test that checks the output of these machines
for some well-known "magic" strings.
