For QEMU 5.0.0 it is applied the patches/5.0.x/0002-memory-backend-file-nvdimm-support-read-only-files-a.patch
to fix an issue with the use of read-only files as backend memory of nvdimm devices. When Kata Containers bumped
to QEMU 5.2.0 that patch was left behind by mistake. In meanwhile a proper feature ("nvdimm: read-only file support")
was proposed and merged upstream (see https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-01/msg00258.html).
This contain the backport of the commit 8360ebeb4f4a from QEMU master which should be applied on QEMU 5.2.0
so that feature is available to Kata Containers.

This change the version of QEMU used in the tests and CI.
The scripts/configure-hypervisor.sh was changed so that:
- Passing the `--enable-virtiofsd` flag
- Do not compiling with -O3 to avoid the warning:
Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3)
../meson.build:104: WARNING: Consider using the built-in optimization level instead of using "-O3".
../meson.build:108: WARNING: Consider using the built-in optimization level instead of using "-O3".
The qemu.blacklist files was changed so that new and uneeded firmware files are removed from the
final tarball. Except for qboot.rom which is new but kept, since it can be used with microvm
machine type (in case we want to enable microvm in the future).
