[RFC PATCH] tests/functional: add hypervisor test for aarch64

[RFC PATCH] tests/functional: add hypervisor test for aarch64

[Alex Bennée]

This is a simple test case that runs an image with kvmtool and
kvm-unit-tests which can validate virtualisation works. This is useful
for exercising TCG but can also be applied to any nested virt setup
which is why it doesn't specify an accelerator.
