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).

In commit f80eae8c2a I was too agresive in removing properties of
-drive for empty drives. It turns out that qemu actually persists the
state of 'readonly' and the throttling information even for the empty
drive.
Removing 'readonly' thus made qemu open any subsequent images added via
the 'change' command as RW which was forbidden by selinux thanks to the
restrictive sVirt label for readonly media.
Fix this by formating the property again and bump the tests and leave a
note detailing why the rest of the properties needs to be skipped.

If a -drive has no image, using image properties makes qemu whine that
they should not be used.
This patch stops formating cache/readonly/... for empty drives
for the pre-blockdev syntax. Unfortunately those parameters can't be
added later when inserting media, but on the other hand qemu will start
with an empty drive.
Since we already were able to start a VM with such config previously due
to qemu ignoring them I've opted just to skip formatting them.
Additionally with -blockdev support it will work as expected as the
image properties will be formatted when adding the image itself which is
not possible without it.
