First, the VMapple machine only works with the ARM 'host' CPU
type, which isn't accepted for QTest:

   $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M vmapple -accel qtest
   qemu-system-aarch64: The 'host' CPU type can only be used with KVM or HVF

Second, the QTest framework expects machines to be createable
without specifying optional arguments, however the VMapple
machine requires few of them:

   $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M vmapple -accel qtest
   qemu-system-aarch64: No firmware specified

   $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M vmapple -accel qtest -bios /dev/null
   qemu-system-aarch64: No AUX device. Please specify one as pflash drive.

Restrict some code path to QTest so we can at least run check-qtest,
otherwise we get:

Or add vmapple as an exception in qtest_cb_for_every_machine():

     for (i = 0; machines[i].name != NULL; i++) {
         /* Ignore machines that cannot be used for qtests */
         if (!strncmp("xenfv", machines[i].name, 5) ||
             g_str_equal("xenpv", machines[i].name) ||
             g_str_equal("xenpvh", machines[i].name) ||
             g_str_equal("nitro-enclave", machines[i].name)) {
             continue;
         }
         ...
     }

Oh, I was not aware of qtest_cb_for_every_machine(), thanks!
