softmmu/vl: Allow -fw_cfg 'gen_id' option to use the 'etc/' namespace

Browse Source 
Names of user-provided fw_cfg items are supposed to start
with "opt/". However FW_CFG_DATA_GENERATOR items are generated
by QEMU, so allow the "etc/" namespace in this specific case.

@ -258,4 +258,8 @@ Prefix "opt/org.qemu/" is reserved for QEMU itself.
Use of names not beginning with "opt/" is potentially dangerous and
entirely unsupported. QEMU will warn if you try.
Use of names not beginning with "opt/" is tolerated with 'gen_id' (that
is, the warning is suppressed), but you must know exactly what you're
doing.
All externally provided fw_cfg items are read-only to the guest.
