All three qemu-system-x86_64 examples in README pointed both -drive if=pflash entries at the same file (/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF.4m.fd). OVMF needs CODE for the first pflash and VARS for the second; as written, EFI NVRAM is not initialized correctly. The path /usr/share/ovmf/x64/ is also stale - the ovmf package has been replaced by edk2-ovmf, which installs under /usr/share/edk2/x64/. Fix both in the three examples (testimage loop section, base Boot ISO block, espeakup variant).
