virtme: pass "debug" to the boot options when running in verbose mode

Some distro / kernels require the "debug" boot option to properly show the kernel messages to the console. Add this parameter to correctly show the kernel log when "-v" is used. This allows to properly show the kernel log in Arch Linux, CachyOS (and probably most of the Arch-derivative distro). Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <[email protected]>
