switch to qemu-system instead of deprecated qemu-kvm

Antoine Beauprérequested to merge
bullseye-bis into master

The package qemu-system is gone from bullseye, and the kvm binary is available from qemu-system-x86.

Instead of installing that package, we install qemu-system, which depends on qemu-system-x86. We do this because we do not want to hardcode a specific architecture here: if we deploy Ganeti on a ARM host eventually, we do want the ARM system to be available.

We could wranlge os.architecture ("amd64"), os.hardware ("x86_64"), or ruby.platform ("x86_64-linux-gnu") facts into the right form ("x86"), but that seems like an uphill battle. -system will do the right thing, and will allow us to emulate other platforms if we actually need to (although I'm not sure Ganeti supports this at all).
