xenbus is virtual controller (akin to virtio controllers) for Xen
paravirtual devices. Although all Xen VMs have a xenbus, it has
never been modeled in libvirt, or in Xen native VM config format
for that matter.
Recently there have been requests to support Xen's max_grant_frames
setting in libvirt. max_grant_frames is best modeled as an attribute
of xenbus. It describes the maximum IO buffer space (or DMA space)
available in xenbus for use by connected paravirtual devices. This
patch introduces a new xenbus controller type that includes a
maxGrantFrames attribute.

The idea is that using this attribute users enable libvirt to
automagically select firmware image for their domain. For
instance:
<os firmware='efi'>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
<loader secure='no'/>
</os>
<os firmware='bios'>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
</os>
(The automagic of selecting firmware image will be described in
later commits.)
Accepted values are 'bios' and 'efi' to let libvirt select
corresponding type of firmware.
I know it is a good sign to introduce xml2xml test case when
changing XML config parser but that will have to come later.
Firmware auto selection is not enabled for any driver just yet so
any xml2xml test would fail right away.

Add <controller type='scsi' model handling for virtio transitional

<controller type='scsi' model='virtio-transitional'/>
* "virtio-transitional" maps to qemu "virtio-scsi-pci-transitional"
* "virtio-non-transitional" maps to qemu "virtio-scsi-non-transitional"
The naming here doesn't match the pre-existing model=virtio-scsi.
The prescence of '-scsi' there seems kind of redundant as we have
type='scsi' already, so I decided to follow the pattern of other
patches and use virtio-transitional etc.

Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).
A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.
The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.

QEMU 2.12 introduced a new type of display for mediated devices using
vfio-pci backend which allows a mediated device to be used as a VGA
compatible device as an alternative to an emulated video device. QEMU
exposes this feature via a vfio device property 'display' with supported
values 'on/off/auto' (libvirt will default to 'off').
This patch adds the necessary bits to domain config handling in order to
expose this feature. Since there's no convenient way for libvirt to come
up with usable defaults for the display setting, simply because libvirt
is not able to figure out which of the display implementations - dma-buf
which requires OpenGL support vs vfio regions which doesn't need OpenGL
(works with OpenGL enabled too) - the underlying mdev uses.

Since 2.10 QEMU supports a new display type egl-headless which uses the
drm nodes for OpenGL rendering copying back the rendered bits back to
QEMU into a dma-buf which can be accessed by standard "display" apps
like VNC or SPICE. Although this display type can be used on its own,
for any practical use case it makes sense to pair it with either VNC or
SPICE display. The clear benefit of this display is that VNC gains
OpenGL support, which it natively doesn't have, and SPICE gains remote
OpenGL support (native OpenGL support only works locally through a UNIX
socket, i.e. listen type=socket/none).
