We supported autostart of node devices via an xml element, but this
is not consistent with other libvirt objects which use an explicit API
for setting autostart status. So revert this and implement it as an
official API in a future commit.
The initial support was refactored after merging, so this commit reverts
both of those previous commits.
Revert "virNodeDevCapMdevParseXML: Use virXMLPropEnum() for ./start/@type"
This reverts commit 9d4cd1d1cd.
Revert "nodedev: support auto-start property for mdevs"
This reverts commit 42a5585499.

This adds a new element to the mdev capabilities xml schema that
represents the start policy for a defined mediated device. The actual
auto-start functionality is handled behind the scenes by mdevctl, but it
wasn't yet hooked up in libvirt.

"start" in libvirt means - "take this object and create an
instance out of it"
"create" in libvirt most of the time means - "take and XML description,
make an object out of it and use it to create an instance"
This gets confusing with mdevctl which uses "start" for both. So, this
patch proposes to use virMdevctlStart in cases where from libvirt's POV
we're starting a defined device (unlike mdevctl). Similarly, use
virMdevctlCreate in scenarios where XML description is passed to
libvirt and a transient device is supposed to be created.

Rather than specifying a UUID string to some test macros, just pass a
filename to an xml definition. This helps work toward unifying the test
macros and making it more maintainable.

It will be useful to be able to specify a particular UUID for a mediated
device when defining the node device. To accomodate that, allow this to
be specified in the xml schema. This patch also parses and formats that
value to the xml, but does not yet use it.
