tests/avocado: introduce alpine virt test for CI
The boot_linux tests download and run a full cloud image boot and start a full distro. While the ability to test the full boot chain is worthwhile it is perhaps a little too heavy weight and causes issues in CI. Fix this by introducing a new alpine linux ISO boot in machine_aarch64_virt. This boots a fully loaded -cpu max with all the bells and whistles in 31s on my machine. A full debug build takes around 180s on my machine so we set a more generous timeout to cover that. We don't add a test for lesser GIC versions although there is some coverage for that already in the boot_xen.py tests. If we want to introduce more comprehensive testing we can do it with a custom kernel and initrd rather than a full distro boot.
