During conversion we copy the necessary drivers to the directory
"%systemroot%\Drivers\Virtio", adding it to the DevicePath registry
value. As documented in [1], this should be enough for Windows to find
device drivers and successfully install them.
However, it doesn't always happen. Commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows:
Document use of pnputil to install drivers.") describes such issues with
Win2k12R2. I'm seeing the same problem with Win2k16 and netkvm.sys
driver not being installed.
That same commit 73e009c04 suggests adding a firstboot script invoking
pnputil at an early stage to install all the drivers we put into the
drivers store. So let's add such a script to make sure all the
necessary drivers are installed.
