Windows (10) bootloader when running on top of SeaBIOS, fails to find
SMBIOSv3 entry point. Tracing it shows that it looks for v2 anchor markers
only and not v3. Tricking it into believing that entry point is found
lets Windows successfully locate and parse SMBIOSv3 tables. Whether it
will be fixed on Windows side is not clear so here goes a workaround.
Idea is to try build v2 tables if QEMU configuration permits,
and fallback to v3 tables otherwise. That will mask Windows issue
form majority of users.
However if VM configuration can't be described (typically large VMs)
by v2 tables, QEMU will use SMBIOSv3 and Windows will hit the issue
again. In this case complain to Microsoft and/or use UEFI instead of
SeaBIOS (requires reinstall).
Default compat setting of smbios-entry-point-type after series
for pc/q35 machines:
* 9.0-newer: 'auto'
* 8.1-8.2: '64'
* 8.0-older: '32'
