hw/i386/pc_sysfw: Alias rather than copy isa-bios region

In the -bios case the "isa-bios" memory region is an alias to the BIOS mapped
to the top of the 4G memory boundary. Do the same in the -pflash case, but only
for new machine versions for migration compatibility. This establishes common
behavior and makes pflash commands work in the "isa-bios" region which some
real-world legacy bioses rely on.

Note that in the sev_enabled() case, the "isa-bios" memory region in the -pflash
case will now also point to encrypted memory, just like it already does in the
-bios case.

When running `info mtree` before and after this commit with
`qemu-system-x86_64 -S -drive \
if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/qemu/bios-256k.bin` and running
`diff -u before.mtree after.mtree` results in the following changes in the
memory tree:

Note that in both cases the "system" memory region contains the entry

  00000000fffc0000-00000000ffffffff (prio 0, romd): system.flash0

but the "system.flash0" memory region only appears standalone when "isa-bios" is
an alias.
