Update/Add Windows drivers for Windows 7+

Fabiano Fidêncio requested to merge fidencio/osinfo-db:wip/windows_drivers into master

This patchset updates the drivers for Windows 7 and adds drivers support for Windows 8+.

I've tried to do the same for WindowsXP, but I've faced too many issues:

  • There are no amd64 drivers for WindowsXP in any available distribution of virtio-win (the oldest one is 0.1.94, from 2015 I guess);
  • I couldn't get spice-guest-tools successfully installed on an unattended-installation

My person wish is to drop support for WindowsXP, but it's not going to happen soon, unfortunately. :-/

The links are pointing to https://fidencio.fedorapeople.org/ but those have to be changed to the virtio-win page before being pushed.

Cole, the structure I'd need for those drivers on virtio-win page could be: unattended/drivers/{preinst,postinst}/$project_name/$version/$windows_version ...

Would that be okay for you? I guess by doing that we wouldn't break your current scripts.
