VGA cards get PCI slot 2 by default from QEMU [1], however, as we
actually disable graphics (so that we don't race for an VNC port), QEMU
thinks it's smart and also gives slot 2 to the storage controller,
leading to:
Call to virDomainCreateWithFlags failed: internal error:
QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor (vm='forklift_debian11'):
qemu-system-x86_64: -device {"driver":"virtio-blk-pci","bus":"pci.0","addr":"0x2","drive":"libvirt-1-format","id":"ua-box-volume-0","bootindex":1,"write-cache":"on"}:
PCI: slot 2 function 0 not available for virtio-blk-pci, in use by cirrus-vga,id=video0 (Libvirt::Error)
Let's be smarter than QEMU and plug our unused video card (that is
needed for [2]) into slot 9 instead.
