This PR updates our qemu-guest-agent package from taking the qemu-ga guest agent from a rather old qemu 4.2.0 build to using the latest official qemu 7.0.0 sources to compile the guest agent for the OVA platform so that qemu-based virtualization platforms like proxmox will benefit from the newer version.

Please note that this change is partly based on similar functionality taken from the RaspberryMatic project (cf. https://github.com/jens-maus/RaspberryMatic/tree/master/buildroot-external/package/qemu-guest-agent).

Hi.

Maybe off-topic, but I have not found an answer anywhere for this.

I have two VMs running HAOS (one for tests and one for production) - the qemu-guest-agent is not running on the production VM, but runs fine on the test VM.

How do I start the agent on my production VM?

Both VMs are running on Synology VM Manager.
