runtime: qemu: reduce boot time and memory footprint

Browse Source 
The linux kernel feature RANDOMIZE_BASE improved the security and at
the same time increased the memory footprint of a kata container,
this feature was enabled in kata-containers/packaging#1006.
In order to mitigate this increase in memory consumption, we can
boot container using the uncompressed kernel.

Reduce boot time by ~5%
Reduce KSM memory footprint by ~14%
Reduce noKSM memory footprint by ~27%

fixes #669
