Description
The version information in the BIOS (type 0) and System (type 1) tables are currently hardcoded. We could instead set them to the OVMF and propolis versions (/commit hash?), respectively.

Research direction
Start by locating the SMBIOS table construction for BIOS (type 0) and System (type 1), then trace how OVMF and propolis versions or commit hashes are available. The work is done when those tables report accurate version information instead of hardcoded values; clarify the desired commit-hash format before implementing.
