Description
`snakeoil/OVMF_VARS.snakeoil.fd` might not match `OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd` we use in tests.
Here are some ways we could handle it:
* Use `lockdown.efi` from efitools to install snakeoil keys on any `OVMF_VARS.fd`
* Put the snakeoil keys as well as code and variables images for OVMF in a separate repo.

Research direction
Start by comparing snakeoil/OVMF_VARS.snakeoil.fd with the OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd used in tests, then review the two proposed approaches involving lockdown.efi and a separate OVMF image repository. Done means the orphan image is either made consistent with the test code image or its ownership and replacement path are clearly established.
