tests/vm: Allow to set qemu-img path
By default VM build test use qemu-img from system's PATH to
create the image disk. Due the lack of qemu-img on the system
or the desire to simply use a version built with QEMU, it would
be nice to allow one to set its path. So this patch makes that
possible by reading the path to qemu-img from QEMU_IMG if set,
otherwise it fallback to default behavior.
