Refactor VPP Device VM vhost tests
* replace the current VM image with kernel img * rework keyword usage to make it consistent with performance tests * remove resources/libraries/robot/shared/qemu.robot as it's not used anywhere anymore Change-Id: Ia5bc19e9e6ed9af031e4d9b5c0c89431fb49fd33 Signed-off-by: juraj.linkes <juraj.linkes@pantheon.tech>
