d20ebdda28 qemu: Switch to -accel
We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.

The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

279c64dccb qemu: command: Use JSON for parameters of -audiodev
'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON
as the argument. Convert our code to use it directly.

The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.

c9b13e0557 qemu: Use JSON directly for '-device'
Starting with QEMU-6.2 started accepting a JSON object as argument for
'-device' which will also become the only syntax considered stable by
qemu in the future.

Since libvirt was recently converted to generate the properties via JSON
to begin wit we can start using it on the commandline as well, by simply
enabling the QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON capability, which we do by probing
for the 'json-cli' feature flag of 'device_add'.

Normally a change which changes a commandline output should be happening
only after the impacted real-caps test files are forked in the version
preceding the change, but in this case it's not necessary as the logic
for generating the device properties stays identical and we just change
the output format (avoid conversion). Additionally we still have a lot
of tests validating the conversion to the old commandline options.

0046e0b1c2 qemuxml2argvtest: Use internal wrapping of command line arguments
virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.

The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.

Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

8dac0ca1b2 qemu: implement setting of rotation rate for SCSI/IDE disks
This is available in QEMU with "ide-hd" and "scsi-hd" device
types. It was originally mistakenly added to the "scsi-block"
device type too, but later removed. This doesn't affect libvirt
since we restrict usage to device=disk.

When this property is not set then QEMU's default behaviour
is to not report any rotation rate information, which
causes most guest OS to assume rotational storage.
