[PATCH v2 19/20] pc/q35: set SMBIOS entry point type to 'auto' by default

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

Use smbios-entry-point-type='auto' for newer machine types as a workaround
for Windows not detecting SMBIOS tables. Which makes QEMU pick SMBIOS tables
based on configuration (with 2.x preferred and fallback to 3.x if the former
isn't compatible with configuration)

Default compat setting of smbios-entry-point-type after series
for pc/q35 machines:
  * 9.0-newer: 'auto'
  * 8.1-8.2: '64'
  * 8.0-older: '32'
