Support e1000 driver for VM Instances

Description

I understand its sub-optimal and really an Incus problem, but this use case seems fairly important to a number of users / customers that should be taken into consideration.

After initial install of Windows 11 it fails on set up steps due to missing network (attached network uses virtio).

 

Unfortunately Incus does not support custom network driver (yet anyway).

We need to handle that manually in some way, there are a few possibilities, one of them is using a qemu scriptlet:

 

 

The other one is using custom raw.qemu for the NIC device with a different specified type.

Problem/Justification

Impossible to complete Windows installation with virtio NIC

Impact

None
