On reflection adding defaults for arbitrary guest XML device config

In 2074ef6cd4 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two
attributes to virtio NICs: rx_queue_size and tx_queue_size.
However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

The OEM strings table in SMBIOS allows the vendor to pass arbitrary
strings into the guest OS. This can be used as a way to pass data to an
application like cloud-init, or potentially as an alternative to the
kernel command line for OS installers where you can't modify the install
ISO image to change the kernel args.
As an example, consider if cloud-init and anaconda supported OEM strings
you could use something like
<oemStrings>
<entry>cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/</entry>
<entry>anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os</entry>
</oemStrings>
use of a application specific prefix as illustrated above is
recommended, but not mandated, so that an app can reliably identify
which of the many OEM strings are targetted at it.

Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.
In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.
Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.
The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).

Add support for describing NUMA distances in a domain's <numa> <cell>

Below is an example of a 4 node setup:

<numa>
<cell id='0' cpus='0-3' memory='2097152' unit='KiB'>
<distances>
<sibling id='0' value='10'/>
<sibling id='1' value='21'/>
<sibling id='2' value='31'/>
<sibling id='3' value='21'/>
</distances>
</cell>

<distances>
<sibling id='0' value='31'/>
<sibling id='1' value='21'/>
<sibling id='2' value='10'/>

<sibling id='1' value='31'/>
<sibling id='2' value='21'/>
<sibling id='3' value='10'/>
</distances>
</cell>
</numa>
</cpu>
A <cell> defines a NUMA node. <distances> describes the NUMA distance
from the <cell> to the other NUMA nodes (the <sibling>s). For example,
in above XML description, the distance between NUMA node0 <cell id='0'
...> and NUMA node2 <sibling id='2' ...> is 31.
Valid distance values are '10 <= value <= 255'. A distance value of 10
represents the distance to the node itself. A distance value of 20
represents the default value for remote nodes but other values are
possible depending on the physical topology of the system.
When distances are not fully described, any missing sibling distance
values will default to 10 for local nodes and 20 for remote nodes.
If distance is given for A -> B, then we default B -> A to the same
value instead of 20.

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.
The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...

This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.
PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.
For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.
So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.
The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.
