tests/functional/test_virt_vbsa: Skip UEFI test if virtualization not supported
If you try to run the functional tests on an AArch64 host which doesn't
support nested virtualization in KVM, the UEFI test fails with:
Output: qemu-system-aarch64: mach-virt: host kernel KVM does
not support providing Virtualization extensions to the guest CPU
Catch the VMLaunchFailure exception and if it matches the error
messages the virt board puts out for virtualization not being
supported, skip the test.
