tests: childhurd: Prefer “-cpu max” over “-cpu host”.
“-cpu host” can sometimes, for unclear reasons, lead to this error from
QEMU 8.1.1:

  qemu-system-x86_64: CPU model 'host' requires KVM or HVF

This commit fixes it.

Inspired by
<https://github.com/matthewbauer/nixpkgs/commit/47b56e7c19c2e3af685ee408f02f232efb3d12b1>.

* gnu/tests/virtualization.scm (run-childhurd-test)[test]: Prefer
