This commit copies OVMF_VARS.fd into the pillar container by adding it to /usr/lib/xen/boot/ovmf_vars.bin. It is important that the file is available in the pillar container because Pillar will create per-domain copies of it stored in /persist, which are then accessible to the xen-tools container. This sets the groundwork for enabling virtual machines to save and retain UEFI settings across reboots by using per-domain NVRAM files. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Martyanov <nikolay@zededa.com>

Did we have only the DCO check in the pipeline in 9.4? oO |
Introduce support for managing per-domain OVMF_VARS.fd files, which are essential for maintaining persistent UEFI settings for FML guests. It adds functionality to prepare and clean up individual OVMF settings files stored in the persist directory, ensuring that each virtual machine has its own dedicated NVRAM file. The VM configuration structures are updated to reference the bootloader settings file, enabling the creation of unique UEFI variable stores for each domain.
