vm: Adapt qemu command to ARM.

* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): New argument #:target-arm32.
Use it to adapt command for qemu-system-arm.  This implies to choose a
machine ("virt"), use the correct console port "ttyAMA0", disable KVM use
that is buggy on some ARM boards (Odroid XU4 for example) and use user mode
network stack instead of NIC. Gather all those options in a new variable
"arch-specific-flags".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass
to load-in-linux-vm "#:target-arm32?" argument.
