Close #453: Support mesa-dri-virtio in Qemu (#861)
The mesa driver, which ends up in the installation image, needs to be known
before the installation is done (in other words: when running the qemu action,
it is to late as the image has already been generated). That's why one can
choose the Qemu mesa driver in `pmbootstrap init` now:

```
Device [qemu-amd64]:
Which mesa driver do you prefer for your Qemu device? Only select something other
than the default if you are having graphical problems (such as glitches).
Mesa driver (dri-swrast/dri-virtio) [dri-virtio]:
```

It is still possible to select `dri-swrast`, because `dri-virtio` may not work
in all cases, and that way we could easily debug it or experiment with other
mesa drivers (e.g. the "vmware" one, which is supported by mesa and Qemu).

Other changes:
* `pmbootstrap qemu` accepts a `--display` variable now, which passes the value
  directly to `qemu`'s `display` option. It defaults to `sdl,gl=on` (@PureTryOut
  reported that to work best with plasma mobile on his PC). `--display` and
  `--spice` (which is still working) are mutually exclusive.
* Removed obsolete telnet port pass-through: We only use the debug telnet port
  since osk-sdl has been merged.
* Add show-cursor to the Qemu command line, so it shows a cursor in X11
* Refactored the spice code (`command_spice` only returns the spice command,
  because it has all necessary information already) and the spice port can be
  specified on the commandline now (previously it was hardcoded in one place and
  then always looked up from there).
* Start comments with capital letters.
* Keep the log on the screen a bit shorter (e.g. Qemu command is written to the
  "pmbootstrap log" anyway, so there's no need to display it again).
* linux-postmarketos-stable: Adjust kernel configs
x86_64, armhf: enable as modules:
CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU, CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON
aarch64: all 3 options were already enabled as built-in (no change)
* Set '-vga virtio' for mesa-dri-virtio

pmbootstrap init: Wizard for new port device- and linux-packages (#821)
* pmbootstrap init: Generate new port device- and linux-package
* adds `pmbootstrap aportgen device-*` and
  `pmbootstrap aportgen linux-*`
* ask for confirmation when selecting a non-existing device
* generate the packages directly from init
* refactor aportgen code
* fixed some easy things in the linux- APKBUILD (more to come in
  follow-up PRs!)

Testing:
* Test all questions to the user from pmb.config.init and pmb.aportgen.device
  (except for the timezone question, because we would need to monkeypatch the
  os.path.exists() function, which messes up pytest, so we'd need to refactor
  the timezone function to be more testsuite friendly first)
* Run the device wizard in a testcase a few times and check the output, that
  pmbootstrap.aportgen.device and pmbootstrap.aportgen.linux create by parsing
  the resulting APKBUILDs and deviceinfo and checking its contents.
* Build the generated device package once in the same testcase

Thanks a lot to @drebrez for all the help with this one:
