github: new test with KVM support

KVM is supported on "larger Linux runners" ...

  https://github.blog/changelog/2023-02-23-hardware-accelerated-android-virtualization-on-actions-windows-and-linux-larger-hosted-runners/

... which is the default runner for public GitHub repos since January:

  https://github.blog/2024-01-17-github-hosted-runners-double-the-power-for-open-source/

I don't think this is well known, and it needs to be manually enabled,
so it might be good to show an example for those who are interested in
that.
