Support ubuntu 24.04 image

Package qemu no longer exists, but only qemu-user-static was required.
Also add support for RaspberryPi 5 emulation with a specific cpu_info to be
used on ubuntu-22.04 and cortex-a76 to be used on ubuntu-24.04.
Clarified that cpu_info is effectless with qemu 8.2+.
Also allow custom qemu.

Fix #90
