When calling QEMU, the CPU arch should be host, and highmem should be on, or else the VM start fails.

not in the default /usr/local/bin location
a user can configure engine.helper_binaries_dir key
or update PATH to include the installation location
to find the qemu binary

This PR further implements a more structured approach to handling the
files needed by machine. More files are now made as MachineFile which
can then have a symlink (using a shorter path) to them. Also added Set
and Get methods for many of the files.
The next part of the refactor will implement the use of symlinks on
MacOS.

* Enable support of virtfs in Podman and darwin. At the time of this writing, it requires a special patch not yet included in upstream qemu.
* Prefer to use a specially built qemu to support virtfs. The qemu is installed under libexec/podman.

QEmu normally install BIOS images under `/usr/local` prefix, but
Homebrew installs them under `/opt/homebrew`. This change searches both
locations and then puts back to an unpathed name if it doesn't find the
BIOS. (I imitated other architectures' implemenations in that failback
behavior.)

Cause qemu to fall back to using TCG acceleration when HVP acceleration
is not available on Darwin Aarch64. Qemu prints a warning which it is
desirable to leave to embarrass the upstream Qemu into approving the HVF
patches.
