runqemu doesn't work with ext4.xz images

Description

Now that we are generating ext4.xz images (but not ext4 by themselves), the runqemu script doesn't work without first manually unpacking the xz image.

This makes quick compile-edit-debug much harder and slower.

Could we generate both files, or default to just ext4 and have the ext4.xz option be configurable?

10387 + 10389 should fix it.

What's interesting is that I can't see when ext4 stopped being included in the default list, but it's not.  I'm going to add it back in for qemux86-64.

Any objections to building both by default?

2 options:

1)

2)

cd tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/

Note that qb_default_fstype is still set to ext4:

martin@columbia:~/agl/build/qemux86-64$ cat tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/agl-demo-platform-qemux86-64.qemuboot.conf | grep ext4
qb_default_fstype = ext4

Fixed
