Michal Privoznik b5f8f04989 qemu: Validate firmware blob configuration
There are recommendations and limitations to the name of the
config blobs we need to follow [1].

We don't want users to change any value only add new blobs. This
means, that the name must have "opt/" prefix and at the same time
must not begin with "opt/ovmf" nor "opt/org.qemu" as these are
reserved for OVMF or QEMU respectively.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
