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.

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.

1924ef661b qemu: capabilities: Move setting QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIDEO_PRIMARY to virQEMUCapsInitQMPBasicArch
Until we clean up and remove all capabilities which no longer make sense
to have separately, we should use virQEMUCapsInitQMPBasicArch to set the
defaults as it's used by qemuxml2argvtest when testing with fake
capabilities.

This allows us to prevent testing dead code paths with the fake
capability tests.

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.

eb9f6cc4b3 qemu: support interface <teaming> functionality
The QEMU driver uses the <teaming type='persistent|transient'
persistent='blah'/> element to setup a "failover" pair of devices -
the persistent device must be a virtio emulated NIC, with the only
extra configuration being the addition of ",failover=on" to the device
commandline, and the transient device must be a hostdev NIC
(<interface type='hostdev'> or <interface type='network'> with a
network that is a pool of SRIOV VFs) where the extra configuration is
the addition of ",failover_pair_id=$aliasOfVirtio" to the device
commandline. These new options are supported in QEMU 4.2.0 and later.

Extra qemu-specific validation is added to ensure that the device
type/model is appropriate and that the qemu binary supports these
commandline options.

The result of this will be:

1) The virtio device presented to the guest will have an extra bit set
in its PCI capabilities indicating that it can be used as a failover
backup device. The virtio guest driver will need to be equipped to do
something with this information - this is included in the Linux
virtio-net driver in kernel 4.18 and above (and also backported to
some older distro kernels). Unfortunately there is no way for libvirt
to learn whether or not the guest driver supports failover - if it
doesn't then the extra PCI capability will be ignored and the guest OS
will just see two independent devices. (NB: the current virtio guest
driver also requires that the MAC addresses of the two NICs match in
order to pair them into a bond).

2) When a migration is requested, QEMu will automatically unplug the
transient/hostdev NIC from the guest on the source host before
starting migration, and automatically re-plug a similar device after
restarting the guest CPUs on the destination host. While the transient
NIC is unplugged, all network traffic will go through the
persistent/virtio device, but when the hostdev NIC is plugged in, it
will get all the traffic. This means that in normal circumstances the
guest gets the performance advantage of vfio-assigned "real hardware"
networking, but it can still be migrated with the only downside being
a performance penalty (due to using an emulated NIC) during the
migration.
