qemu_firmware: Retain user-specified NVRAM format

Right now we throw the entire definition away if the path is
not present, including the format. This effectively results in
discarding user-provided information.

This change fixes the firmware-auto-efi-format-mismatch test
case. Until now, the NVRAM format ended up being raw (matching
the NVRAM template) despite the user explicitly asking for it
to be qcow2 instead.

While this means that libvirt will no longer be able to start
such a VM without user intervention, since it does not
automatically perform conversion between formats, that's still
preferrable to silently overriding an explicit user's request.
