cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism

Browse source 
Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.

It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
the executables.

Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on
such an old system.

The project aims to support the two most recent versions of Windows that are
still supported by the vendor. The minimum Windows API that is currently
targeted is "Windows 7", so theoretically the QEMU binaries can still be run
targeted is "Windows 8", so theoretically the QEMU binaries can still be run
on older versions of Windows, too. However, such old versions of Windows are
not tested anymore, so it is recommended to use one of the latest versions of
Windows instead.
