If you've ever tried running a huge page backed guest under
different user than in qemu.conf, you probably failed. Problem is
even though we have corresponding APIs in the security drivers,
there's no implementation and thus we don't relabel the huge page
path. But even if we did, so far all of the domains share the
same path:
/hugepageMount/libvirt/qemu
Our only option there would be to set 0777 mode on the qemu dir
which is totally unsafe. Therefore, we can create dir on
per-domain basis, i.e.:
/hugepageMount/libvirt/qemu/domainName
and chown domainName dir to the user that domain is configured to
run under.

If this reminds you of a commit message from around a year ago, it's
41c2aa729f and yes, we're dealing with
"the same thing" again. Or f309db1f4d and
it's similar.
There is a logic in place that if there is no real need for
memory-backend-file, qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() returns 0. However
that wasn't the case with hugepage backing. The reason for that was
that we abused the 'pagesize' variable for storing that information, but
we should rather have a separate one that specifies whether we really
need the new object for hugepage backing. And that variable should be
set only if this particular NUMA cell needs special treatment WRT
hugepages.

Per-domain directories were introduced in order to be able to
completely separate security labels for each domain (commit
f1f68ca334). However when the domain
name is long (let's say a ridiculous 110 characters), we cannot
connect to the monitor socket because on length of UNIX socket address
is limited. In order to get around this, let's shorten it in similar
fashion and in order to avoid conflicts, throw in an ID there as well.
Also save that into the status XML and load the old status XMLs
properly (to clean up after older domains). That way we can change it
in the future.
The shortening can be seen in qemuxml2argv tests, for example in the
hugepages-pages2 case.

Just recently, qemu forbade specifying format for sourceless
disks (qemu commit 39c4ae941ed992a3bb5). It kind of makes sense.
If there's no file to open, why specify its format. Anyway, I
have a domain like this:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
and obviously I am unable to start it. Therefore, a fix on our
side is needed too.

As of QEMU 0.10.0 the -drive format= parameter was added,
so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available.

As of QEMU 0.9.1 the -drive argument can be used to configure
all disks, so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available
and drop support for -hda/-cdrom/etc.
Many of the tests need updating because a great many were
running without CAPS_DRIVE set, so using the -hda legacy
syntax.
Fixing the tests uncovered a bug in the argv -> xml
convertor which failed to handle disk with if=floppy.

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

QEMU's command line visitor as well as the JSON interface take bytes by
default for memory object sizes. Convert mebibytes to bytes so that we
can later refactor the existing code for hotplug purposes.
