86a68bdb0c qemu: Permit PCI-free aarch64 mach-virt guests
There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on
aarch64 guests; however, guest OS support is still spotty at best,
so most guests are going to be using virtio-mmio instead.

Currently, mach-virt guests are closely modeled after q35 guests,
and that includes always adding a dmi-to-pci-bridge that's just
impossible to get rid of. While that's acceptable (if suboptimal)
for q35, where you will always need some kind of PCI device anyway,
mach-virt guests should be allowed to avoid it.

d5fb8f4564 qemu: don't add pci-bridge to Q35/arm domains unless it's needed
Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).

This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.

0d668434f4 conf: allow use of slot 0 in a dmi-to-pci-bridge
When support for dmi-to-pci-bridge was added, it was assumed that,
just as with the pci-root bus, slot 0 was reserved. This is not the
case - it can be used to connect a device just like any other slot, so
remove the restriction and update the test cases that auto-assign an
address on a dmi-to-pci-bridge.

bd23695055 qemu: Always enable GIC on ARM virt machines
GIC is always available to ARM virt machines, and the domain XML should
reflect this fact.

5a1ccaeb00 tests: qemu: More aarch64 virtio and pci tests
Clarify the point of some of the test cases by renaming them. Add more
xml2xml tests.
