The element specifies whether a particular CPU model can be used when
creating a CPU definition from raw CPUID/MSR data. The @host attribute
determines whether the CPU model can be used (host='on') for creating
CPU definition for host capabilities. Usability of the model for domain
capabilities and host-model CPU definitions is controlled by the @guest
attribute.

The pconfig feature was enabled in QEMU by accident in 3.1.0. All other
newer versions do not support it and it was removed from the
Icelake-Server CPU model in QEMU.
We don't normally change our CPU models even when QEMU does so to avoid
breaking migrations between different versions of libvirt. But we can
safely do so in this specific case. QEMU never supported enabling
pconfig so any domain which was able to start has pconfig disabled.
With a small compatibility hack which explicitly disables pconfig when
CPU model equals Icelake-Server in migratable domain definition, only
one migration scenario stays broken (and there's nothing we can do about
it): from any host to a host with libvirt < 5.10.0 and QEMU > 3.1.0.

QEMU does not support setting this feature on the command line anymore.
We don't need to explain why it is not included in CPU models then.

The family/model numbers are nice for humans or for comparing with
/proc/cpuinfo, but sometimes there's a need to see the CPUID
representation of the signature. Let's add it into a comment for each
signature in out cpu_map XMLs as the conversion is not exactly
straightforward.
