    tests: hurd-vm: Remove custom disk image configuration.
    
    This was added in 18e76f89055f25f015fadb7c999b410f38a88cc6.  Presumably,
    the problem was that using compressed QCOW2 images makes the childhurd
    slower, so it’s eventually marked as failing to start.  By enabling KVM
    inside the Guix System VM, we allow the childhurd to run on KVM, which
    compensates the slowdown due to the use of a compressed image.
    
    * gnu/tests/virtualization.scm (hurd-vm-disk-image-raw): Remove.
    (%childhurd-os): Use default config for ‘hurd-vm-service-type’.
    (run-childhurd-test)[test]: Pass “-cpu host” to the run-vm script.
