[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu.conf: Make nvram list obsolete

Now that libvirt has firmware auto selection feature the nvram config knob is more or less obsolete. It still makes sense in cases where distro users are using does not provide FW descriptor files, therefore I'm not removing it.

I think we could be a bit more verbose "This configuration option is obsolete. Libvirt will follow the QEMU firmware metadata specification to automatically locate firmware images: https://git.qemu.org/gitweb.cgi?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/interop/firmw... These metadata files are distributed alongside any firmware images intended for use with QEMU."
