Currently, the installer tests just hang after the initial install phase
on i686 because qemu just quits because of the gic parameter.
Fix this by doing x86 things for both x86-64 and i686.
We apparently didn't fit anymore. I don't think this test is meant
to (also) check closure size.
Note: as of this commit, the test is blocked by a fontconfig problem,
so I tested with that merge temporarily reverted.
The cyclic dependency of systemd → cryptsetup → lvm2 → udev=systemd
needs to be broken somewhere. The previous strategy of building
cryptsetup with an lvm2 built without udev (#66856) caused the
installer.luksroot test to fail. Instead, build lvm2 with a udev built
without cryptsetup.
Fixes#96479.

This appears to avoid requiring KVM when it’s not available. This is
what I originally though -cpu host did. Unfortunately not much
documentation available from the QEMU side on this, but this appears
to square with help:
$ qemu-system-x86 -cpu help
...
x86 host KVM processor with all supported host features
x86 max Enables all features supported by the accelerator in the current host
...
Whether we actually want to support this not clear, since this only
happens when your CPU doesn’t have full KVM support. Some Nix builders
are lying about kvm support though. Things aren’t too slow without it
though.

Also, add some sleep statements in between, which seems to at least feel
like it causes
> WARNING: Device /dev/vda* not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds.
To occur less frequently.
This eventually still succeeds after some amount of waiting, I suspect
some racyness in the way lvm's udev-triggered scripts trigger other
units.
- Create a child configuration named "Work" with an extra config file.
- Name the default configuration as "Home" :-)
- Once the VM is setup, reboot and verify that it has booted into
default configuration.
- Reboot into the "Work" configuration via grub.
- Verify that we have booted into the "Work" configuration and that
the extra config file is present.
This test works for the simple grub configuration and simple UEFI
Grub configuration. UEFI Systemd is not included in the test.
He prefers to contribute to his own nixpkgs fork triton.
Since he is still marked as maintainer in many packages
this leaves the wrong impression he still maintains those.
previously one of the tests would fail with

Shortening the test name fixes the issue.
