    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.
