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.
