d20ebdda28 qemu: Switch to -accel
We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.

The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

0ae3e1313f qemu: Always assume presence of QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_SECRET
The secret object is supported since qemu-2.6 and can't be compiled out.
Assume the presence to simplify the code.

This enables the use of the secret key for most tests not using real
caps.

Added by c8a6ae8bb9 in qemu-v1.5.0 and can't be compiled out. Assume
that it's present and fix all fake-caps tests.

c7a85b5b77 qemu: command: Always assume support for '-msg timestamp=on'
All supported QEMU versions have this option so there's no need for us
to base it on the capability.

All QEMU versions we support have these and it's very unlikely that they
will be removed. Remove the capability checks.

0046e0b1c2 qemuxml2argvtest: Use internal wrapping of command line arguments
virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.

The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.

Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

43c9c0859f qemu: use long on|off syntax for -chardev boolean option values
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.

198c1eb6b4 qemu_domain.c: align all pSeries mem modules when PARSE_ABI_UPDATE
qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes() has an operation order problem. We are
calculating 'initialmem' without aligning the memory modules first.
Since we're aligning the dimms afterwards this can create inconsistencies
in the end result. x86 has alignment of 1-2MiB and it's not severely
impacted by it, but pSeries works with 256MiB alignment and the difference
is noticeable.

This is the case of the existing 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma' test.
The test consists of a 2GiB (aligned value) guest with 2 ~520MiB dimms,
both unaligned. 'initialmem' is calculated by taking total_mem and
subtracting the dimms size (via virDomainDefGetMemoryInitial()), which
wil give us 2GiB - 520MiB - 520MiB, ending up with a little more than
an 1GiB of 'initialmem'. Note that this value is now unaligned, and
will be aligned up via VIR_ROUND_UP(), and we'll end up with 'initialmem'
of 1GiB + 256MiB. Given that the dimms are aligned later on, the end
result for QEMU is that the guest will have a 'mem' size of 1310720k,
plus the two 512 MiB dimms, exceeding in 256MiB the desired 2GiB
memory and currentMemory specified in the XML.

Existing guests can't be fixed without breaking ABI, but we have
code already in place to align pSeries NVDIMM modules for new guests.
Let's extend it to align all pSeries mem modules.

A new test, 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma-abi-update', a copy of the
existing 'memory-hotplug-ppc64-nonuma', was added to demonstrate the
result for new pSeries guests. For the same unaligned XML mentioned
above, after applying this patch:

- starting QEMU mem size without PARSE_ABI_UPDATE:
    -m size=1310720k,slots=16,maxmem=4194304k \ (no changes)

- starting QEMU mem size with PARSE_ABI_UPDATE:
    -m size=1048576k,slots=16,maxmem=4194304k \ (size fixed)
