undeprecate the --architecture option and implement concatenation semantics
For supporting the building of Hurd images, debvm-create needs to know
the architecture and apply Hurd-specific quirks. Recognize this and
undeprecate the option. While at it also implement the concatenation
semantics that mmdebstrap implements. This provides more consistency
between debvm-create, debefivm-create and mmdebstrap as the option now
works in the same way for all of them. Where to pass it becomes the
user's choice except when building for Hurd or EFI when the wrapper
needs to know it.

debvm-create: actually just stop writing fstab altogether
When using systemd, it all boots just fine down to jessie. In unstable,
sysvinit also boots without fstab. This is probably good enough. It
helps with booting from a virtiofs rootfs.

debvm-create: make fstab optional
Evidently, it is not universally required.

debvm-run: do away with the filesytem label requirement
A filesystem always has a UUID and we can just pass that instead.

*-run: enable a virtio memory balloon by default
The effect of this is that a guest running Linux 5.7 or later will
report free pages (not page cache) to the hypervisor, which in turn will
madvise MADV_DONTNEED releasing them back to the system.
