core: ensure that the user defined VMType flag is respected for m3 devices #1045

Hello! I'm creating this to ensure that the --vm-type flag is being respected. I understand that at one point qemu had issues on M3 chips, however in my current company we're experiencing issues using vz. As such, we've had to revert back to qemu, and it's worked a treat.

To get it going currently we need to run coilima start --edit, which is fine for testing, but being able to run start with qemu defined as the vm type and have that setting respected would be a game changer. Happy to work on this and improve if needed, but I think this should do the trick.

Can it be released pls? We can't use vmType setting on M3 from yaml, it always uses vz as vm type regardless what it is in the config.

A release would be prioritised.

In the meantime, if you do install with brew you can install the development version with brew install --head colima.

This removes the special case logic for M3 macs that use the vz driver instead of qemu. A lot of people are having trouble with vz on M3 macs:
