can we leave this in as it is very useful for running archinstall locally during dev and use the loopback device

I tried them locally and didn't really feel it was clear enough (second command didn't seem to work) maybe I'm missing something here and we can clarify.

They work fine for me.
I think this one
# losetup --partscan --show --find ./testimage.img
has changed recently as the --find doesn't seem to work anymore, but removing that will make it work

Since we already have a good Building and Testing section, I thought it would be better to have general QEMU/Other virt section and simplify a little (also updated a bit for extra possibilities, since this docs was from 2021).
