      hw/pci: partially handle pci master abort

has exposed a conflict (an unintended, unordered overlap) between the
memory ranges "pci-hole" and "system.flash". When the boot firmware is
passed with -pflash, the "pci-hole" region hides it, and the guest
cannot execute the firmware.

The test cases added by this series should help avoid regressions in
this area.

On top of v1.7.0-rc0, the "/i440fx/firmware/bios" test passes even
without fixing the memory region conflict (consistently with the fact
that we never noticed the conflict in practice due to using -bios
exclusively).

The "/i440fx/firmware/pflash" test catches the problem, unless one of
the discussed fixes are applied (ie. shrinking "pci-hole", or explicitly
ordering it under "system.flash"):

  $ tests/i440fx-test --verbose
  [...]

  i440fx-test: qtest_start() should be paired with qtest_end()
  i440fx-test: give each GTest case its own qtest
  i440fx-test: generate temporary firmware blob
  i440fx-test: verify firmware under 4G and 1M, both -bios and -pflash
