Support Qemu verion >= 4.2 in LDC Ussuri Image

Description

In order to offer VM with SVE support on FX700, the Qemu version >= 4.2 is needed for KVM to support launching VM with sve extension.
https://www.qemu.org/2019/12/13/qemu-4-2-0/

In LDC Ussuri Kolla nova-libvirt image, the Qemu version is 3.1, so that we need to bump/backport an image that supports Qemu version >= 4.2
