    Use UEFI as the default boot for AArch64

    There are two ways of booting VM on AArch64 architecture:

    1. UEFI
    2. kernel+initrd

    No one sane goes for 2nd option so hw_firmware_type=uefi has to be set
    for every image. Otherwise they simply hang. So let's set is as default
    if no other value for hw_firmware_type is set.

    If someone will implement own way then they can set hw_firmware_type to
    own value and add support to Nova.
