.gitlab-ci.yml: explicitly install gpgv for jessie
The jessie test was broken by apt defaulting to sqv in the sense that
mmdebstrap's gpgvnoexpkeysig requires gpgv, but it no longer is being
installed. The earlier error message was not diagnosing this, but
Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues kindly debugged and fixed that on the
mmdebstrap side. Thanks! Now with a proper error message, a missing gpgv
can be easily addressed. apt will still prefer sqv for everything but
jessie.

debian/control: add qemu-system-native alternative
That package is fairly recent and does not exist in bookworm. On the
flip side, it more accurately expresses what we want as debvm-run
actually prefers the qemu-ARCH executable name over the kvm name.

debian/control: follow the qemu-user-static -> qemu-user-binfmt transition

debian/tests: explicitly install qemu-system-misc for loong64
loong64 does not yet have a qemu package that provides qemu-kvm, but we
really don't need kvm. All we need is the right qemu binary.

debian/tests: tighten dependency on qemu-kvm
The native test really wants to run kvm (whether it uses kvm or tcg is
another question), but debvm only depends on qemu-kvm | qemu-system-any.
The latter alternative is of little use for the test and makes it fail.

document that dpkg-dev is required
It's already a dependency in debian/control, but was missing from the
README.

debvm-create: implement password deletion with correctly quoted sed
While using the --prefix option is great, it's only available in trixie.
Hence, revert back to sed, this time getting the quoting right (by
avoiding backslashes using character sequences) and also apply to all
lines of the file as systemd seems to be adding users to the front.

debvm-create: revert back to passwd for deleting the root password
We should avoid --root as that will chroot and load libraries. The sed
solution somehow didn't work due to a quoting issue. What we can use is
passed --prefix as that avoids loading libraries and explicitly does not
support NIS and LDAP, which we don't need here.

debvm-create: avoid using passwd --delete
passwd will chroot() into the target tree and then load shared
libraries. This tends to work badly for old releases and for foreign
architectures or combinations thereof. As a result, it sometimes fails
with
Cannot determine your user name.
In practice, it removes a single asterisk from the first line of
/etc/shadow (at least for jessie to trixie). This is something, we can
also do via sed.
