Thanks to the Xen fix recently submitted
(https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=164774063802402) I'll be able to
update this script to use Debian Bullseye. I am thinking of merging the
below directly with this patch.

automation: upgrade Debian to Bullseye for testing Xen aarch32

Also change initrd. As the new netboot initrd from Debian Bullseye is
huge (22MB), use a tiny initrd from Alpine Linux instead (only 2.5MB).

Also note that the huge Debian Bullseye initrd would cause QEMU to
crash due to the -device loader parameter.
