QEMU has long accepted many different values for boolean properties, but
set accepted has been different depending on which QEMU parser you hit.
The on|off values were supported by all QEMU parsers. The yes|no, y|n,
true|false values were only partially supported:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg01012.html
Thus we should standardize on on|off everywhere since that is most
widely supported in QEMU.

The preferred syntax for boolean options is to set the value "on" or
"off". QEMU 7.1.0 will deprecate the short format we currently use.
The long format has been supported with -chardev since at least 1.5.3,
so we don't need to check for it.

Now we have everything prepared for generating the command line.
The device alias prefix was chosen to be 'virtiopmem'.
Since virtio-pmem-pci device goes onto PCI bus generating device
alias must have been changed slightly because
qemuAssignDeviceMemoryAlias() might have used DIMM slot number to
generate the alias. This obviously won't work and thus the "old"
way (which includes qemuDomainDeviceAliasIndex()) must be used.
