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.

The property was deprecated. Don't format it based on the new capability
if the user didn't explicitly request it.

The previous approac of just purging the alias combined with the fact
that we filled in fake machine types in the test data meant that if a
test case used an alias machine type such as 'pc' or 'q35' it would not
properly resolve to the actual data returned by qemu.
This started to be a problem since the CPU driver now looks at the
default CPU reported with the machine type.
This patch replaces the original approach of just removing the alias by
replacing it with a copy of the machine type data which the type would
alias to. This means that we are using the real data while we don't
modify the test output after every qemu upgrade.
Additionally this change will allow us to drop adding the fake machine
types later.
The test fallout is from actually excercising the CPU driver with
actual data.

Now that all pieces are in place (hopefully) let's enable -blockdev.
We base the capability on presence of the fix for 'auto-read-only' on
files so that blockdev works properly, mandate that qemu supports
explicit SCSI id strings to avoid ABI regression and that the fix for
'savevm' is present so that internal snapshots work.

The latter is deprecated and will be removed soon. The advised
replacement is '-overcommit mem-lock=on|off'.

By default, qemu user's home dir points to '/' which shouldn't be used
at all. We therefore pass the HOME variable from the current variable
iff not running as SUID, which means that for systemd we never set it.
This patch makes sure, that for system QEMU this is always set to
libDir/<driver>, session mode is left untouched.

For session mode, only XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, because we want to remain
integrating with services in user session, but for system mode, this
would have become reading/writing to '/' which carries the obvious issue
with permissions (also, '/' is the wrong location in 99.9% cases anyway).
