Subject: [PATCH] Use virtio-gpu with viogpudo on Arm64 Windows 11

Replace ramfb with virtio-gpu-pci at 2048x1280 and install the viogpudo
driver from the VirtIO ISO. ramfb has a fixed mode, and keeping both
adapters left Windows with a second, fixed-mode monitor.

Windows Setup and the base image have no viogpudo driver, so on the
launch that creates the system disk the launcher also adds a ramfb ahead
of the config files. The display window shows the first GPU.
