VM builds: Use 9p/virtfs instead of CIFS

9p (with caching enabled) is much faster than CIFS and doesn't require
Samba or virtual networking.  For instance, building GNU Hello with
CIFS takes ~323s on my laptop, but with 9p it takes 54s.

More measurements will be needed to see if "cache=fscache" is really
faster than "cache=loose" (the former seems to be a little bit
faster).
