boot-qemu.py: Add support for passing through a folder to the guest

virtiofs, available in QEMU 5.2 or newer and Linux guests 5.4 or newer,
is a more modern way to pass local folders along to QEMU, as it takes
advantage of the fact that the folders are on the same machine as the
hypervisor.

To use virtiofs, we first need to run virtiofsd, which is included with
most base QEMU packages. Once we find it, we run it in the background
and connect to it using some QEMU parameters, which were shamelessly
taken from the official virtiofs website:

https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/howto-qemu.html

To use it within the guest (you can use a different path than
/mnt/shared but 'mount -t virtio shared' must be used):

  # mkdir /mnt/shared
  # mount -t virtiofs shared /mnt/shared
  # echo "$(uname -a)" >/mnt/shared/foo

On the host:

  $ cat shared/foo
  Linux (none) 6.1.0-rc8-next-20221207 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec  7 14:56:03 MST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

This does require guest kernel support (CONFIG_VIRTIO_FS=y), otherwise
it will not work inside the guest:

  / # mount -t virtiofs shared /mnt/shared
  mount: mounting shared on /mnt/shared failed: No such device
