[00/10] for-8.3 tests/avocado: prep for Avocado 103.0 LTS

Message

This is a collection of improvements to a number of Avocado based
tests, but also fixes that will allow them to behave properly under
Avocado's upcoming new Long Term Stability release (LTS) version
103.0.

A pipeline with (pretty much) these changes can be seen at:
  - https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemu/-/pipelines/1096168899

While a pipeline with the Avocado version bump (using a preview of the
103.0 release) can be seen at:
  - https://gitlab.com/cleber.gnu/qemu/-/pipelines/1099488480

Once Avocado officially releases 103.0 LTS, which is expected to take
no longer than 2 weeks (after a huge development window), the actual
version bump will be posted, along with more profound changes to the
tests to leverage the new features.
