* Add windows languages, many bugfixes
Entering a release, edition, or OS with only part of a valid one will now throw an error, rather than attempting to download
i.e. $quickget windows 1 > "ERROR! Windows 1 is not a supported release", rather than attempting to download a nonexistent ISO
* Replace "languages" with "editions" to improve consistency
* Remove unnecessary code, hardcode windows editions to not waste time
* Add windows server, LTSC
* Windows server requires IDE drive
* Update Windows Guests section in README.md
* Improve support for windows server
Add back the language array, change stylization of languages in list
* Fix quickget show-iso-url and test-iso-url creating unnecessary directory
* Beautify output, add show-iso-url and test-iso-url for Windows (fully) and macOS (sorta)
* (NON-FUNCTIONAL) macrecovery shell script.
* Semi-functional (although incomplete) macrecovery shell script
Rough draft. To be completed, cleaned up and simplified (very much so)
hoping to merge into quickemu & replace the python macrecovery dependency.
* macrecovery shell script now successfully downloads the image. TODO: Verification
* Merged macrecovery functions into quickget. Chunkcheck (C) to replace macrecovery's image verification
Chunkcheck written by MCJack123: https://gist.github.com/MCJack123/943eaca762730ca4b7ae460b731b68e7
* Replace C chunkcheck binary with the Python equivalent. Re-add python to dependencies.
* force macOS guests to usually boot with core counts which are powers of 2; fix#865
* Add support for macOS Sonoma
* Fix issue where script would be unable to find chunkcheck if installed system-wide
* Update README verbiage
* Add headers to web_get function; macOS can now be downloaded via aria2; clean up code & output
* Add support for macOS Sonoma
* Fix use of wrong operator (>) which touches a file
* Small correction to README
* macOS switched from wget to default downloader (aria2/wget)
* Replace wget with cURL for downloading macOS chunklist file
* Fix variable naming in generate_id function
Added new configuration file option "sound_card" and new command-line
switch "--sound-card" to change the virtual sound hardware. Allowed
options are "intel-hda" (default), "ac97", "es1370", "sb16", and "none".
Also changed default sound card for Solaris to "ac97" and for FreeDOS to
"sb16".
* Add initial Solaris/Illumos support
* Fix OpenIndiana kernel panic on boot
The OpenIndiana kernel panics on boot in the AHCI driver. Switching the
machine type from "q35" to "pc" seems to fix the issue.
* Fix Illumos/OpenIndiana USB controller issue.
* Add openindiana support
* Updated quickget with current OpenIndiana release
* Change OpenIndiana video card to vmware-svga
OpenIndiana's default Xorg configuration doesn't work with QXL, virtio,
or VGA, but it does with vmware-svga.
* Updated man pages for OpenIndiana support
* Changed default Solaris/OpenIndiana boot to legacy
The OpenIndiana installer defaults to MBR partition table and BIOS boot
code even in EFI mode, so changed quickget to set 'boot="legacy"' in the
configuration file.

Currently, the virtio specification does not include provision for the TRIM (aka DISCARD) command that allows a guest operating system to signal the disk hardware that blocks have become unused so that the underlying device may clear the physical data.
The TRIM/DISCARD command was introduced for SSD disks as an extension to the AHCI specification that is used in SATA systems.
With Virtual Machines we can use this command to tell QEMU's Qcow2 driver to reclaim unused space in the disk image. This ensures the disk image file is kept to the smallest size possible where without the TRIM/DISCARD command it grows to it's maximum configured size and never shrinks again when data is deleted.
Let's swap our default disk driver from `virtio-blk-pci` which does not support TRIM to `ahci` which does.
(We cannot use `virtio-scsi-pci` when running macOS, like we do in our default disk device, because macOS does not support SCSI disks at all on x86_64 systems.)

QEMU 7.0 introduces a change/regression where it is not possible to use GL accerlation via GTK/SDL displays and also bring up SPICE: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1036
This patch prevents Quickemu from bringing up SPICE when GTK or SDK are selected as the display.
