When you add a bunch of pcie-root-port controllers to a q35 guest
in order to have hotplug capabilities, you also need to make sure
you're adding the pcie-root controller at the same time or you
will get an error. Document this fact.

This reverts commit 038eb472a0.
On reflection adding defaults for arbitrary guest XML device config
settings to the qemu.conf is not a sustainable path. Removing the
support for rx/tx queue size so that it doesn't set a bad precedent.

Document that contributors are required to assert compliance with the
Developers Certification of Origin 1.1, by providing Signed-off-by tags
for all commit messages. The DCO is formally stating what we have long
implicitly expected of contributors in terms of their legal rights to
make the contribution. This puts the project in a stronger position
should any questions around contributions be raised going forward in the
future.

In 2074ef6cd4 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two
attributes to virtio NICs: rx_queue_size and tx_queue_size.
However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

For vhost-user ports, Open vSwitch acts as the server and QEMU the client.
When OVS crashes or restarts, the QEMU process should be reconnected to

were there, just not the tag.

The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.
As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like
<oemStrings>
<entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
<entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
</oemStrings>
use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

Migration never removes any configuration files on the destination host.
Thus when the domain is already defined on the destination, it will stay
persistent even after migration without --persist.

Currently we only describe setting the CN field for server certs. This leads
to inevitable pain for users who set it to the fully qualified hostname and
then use a unqualified hostname or IP address to connect in the URI. Describe
the usage of Subject Alt Name extensions, to provide multiple hostnames and
IP addresses. This will help users avoid the classic mistake and is important
future proofing, since at least in browsers, TLS libraries no longer use the
CN field for validation, mandating use of SAN info instead.

Introduce specific a target types with two models for the console
devices (sclp and sclplm) used in s390 and s390x guests, so isa-serial
is no more used for them.
This makes <serial> usable on s390 and s390x guests, with at most only
a single sclpconsole and one sclplmconsole devices usable in a single
guest (due to limitations in QEMU, which will enforce already at
runtime).

We can finally introduce a specific target model for the pl011 device
used by mach-virt guests, which means isa-serial will no longer show
up to confuse users.
We make sure migration works in both directions by interpreting the
isa-serial target type, or the lack of target type, appropriately
when parsing the guest XML, and skipping the newly-introduced type
when formatting if for migration. We also verify that pl011 is not
used for non-mach-virt guests and add a bunch of test cases.
