Added support for Hyper-V VMs with UEFI Secure Boot enabled.
In order to create such VMs, there are a couple of things to consider:
* Images should be prepared for Generation 2 VMs. The image property
"hw_machine_type=hyperv-gen2" is mandatory.
* The guest OS type must be specified in order to properly spawn the VMs.
It can be specified through the image property "os_type", and the
acceptable values are "windows" or "linux".
* The UEFI Secure Boot feature can be requested through the image property
"os_secure_boot" (acceptable values: "disabled", "optional", "required")
or flavor extra spec "os:secure_boot" (acceptable values: "disabled",
"required"). The flavor extra spec will take precedence. If the image
property and the flavor extra spec values are conflicting, then an
exception is raised.
* This feature is supported on Windows / Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 for
Windows guests, and Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 for both
Windows and Linux guests.
