This makes it possible to boot images with multiple partitions (the
ones ending in .hddimg or .hdddirect) in several ways:
   runqemu qemux86 core-image-minimal hddimg
   runqemu tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/core-image-minimal-qemux86.hddimg
   VM=tmp-glibc/deploy/images/qemux86/iot-os-image-qemux86.hddimg FSTYPE=hddimg runqemu

Same for hdddirect.

This is useful for testing initramfs scripts, secure boot (when
switching to UEFI), or boot loaders like syslinux. For testing the
content of the rootfs, the ext4 image is better because that approach
is faster (no need to create another large image during build, rootfs
can be read directly instead of reading boot.img through loop device).

When booting a live image, the kernel, initramfs (if any) and kernel
parameters are taken from the image by the virtual machine's BIOS, so any
additional kernel parameters given to runqemu are ignored. This can be
avoided (already without this change) in a slightly hacky runqemu setup:
   ROOTFS=tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/core-image-minimal-qemux86.hddimg \
   FSTYPE=ext4 \
   KERNEL=tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/bzImage-initramfs-qemux86.bin \
   MACHINE=qemux86 \
   runqemu serial kvm nographic 'bootparams=root=/dev/ram0'

The additional bzImage-initramfs-qemux86.bin kernel here was created
by adding this to local.conf:
   INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "core-image-minimal-initramfs"
   INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE = "1"

In the code, the new FSTYPE=hddimg resp. hdddirect behaves almost
exactly like the older vmdk FSTYPE. New types were chosen because it
seemed cleaner than using FSTYPE=vmdk when the actual image pointed to
by VM is not in that format. The downside is that several checks for
FSTYPE=vmdk had to be duplicated for FSTYPE=hddimg.

The VM variable now gets interpreted as "virtual machine disk image"
instead of "vmdk image".
