Currently the RPM spec doesn't add the 'secboot'-variant OVMF binaries

'x86_64' and 'ia32'.  Add them.

This way, getDomainCapabilities() will report all the OVMF binaries that
are present on the system.  E.g. on Fedora 29, if you only have the
edk2-ovmf-20190308stable-1.fc29.noarch package installed, then running
`virsh domcapabilities` will enumerate _both_ the OVMF binaries (instead
of just the OVMF_CODE.fd):

   $> virsh getdomcapabilities
     ...
     <loader supported='yes'>
       <value>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</value>
       <value>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd</value>
     ...

Learnt this from a discussion with Michal Privoznik in this bug,
comment#2:

     firmware (FW) paths in domainCapabilities based on FW descriptor
     files

I only did a cursory check on if I missed to add any other valid paths
for other architectures.

But I'm not sure how much we care now that firmware.repo is in the mix.
I'll leave it up to Michal whether to apply

The only concern I had with this patch is that we will start putting "*.secboot.fd" images into domcaps XML even if secboot might not be available for given combination of arguments (machine type + arch). However, after my series gets merged we will report only those FW image paths that we found FW descriptors for and this will be used only as a fallback:

So after all, ACK from me too. And pushed.

Michal
