QEMU 3.1 supports Hyper-V-style PV IPIs making it cheaper for Windows
guests to send an IPI, especially when it targets many CPUs.

Qemu-3.0 supports Hyper-V-style PV TLB flush, Windows guests can benefit
from this feature as KVM knows which vCPUs are not currently scheduled (and
thus don't require any immediate action).

Qemu-3.0 supports so-called 'Reenlightenment' notifications and this (in
conjunction with 'hv-frequencies') can be used make Hyper-V on KVM pass
stable TSC page clocksource to L2 guests.

Qemu-2.12 gained 'hv-frequencies' cpu flag to enable Hyper-V frequency
MSRs. These MSRs are required (but not sufficient) to make Hyper-V on
KVM pass stable TSC page clocksource to L2 guests.

The field was added in qemu v0.13.0-rc0-731-g1ca4d09ae0 so all supported
qemu versions now use it.
There's a LOT of test fallout as we did not use capabilities close
enough to upstream for many of our tests.
Several tests had a 'bootindex' variant. Since they'd become redundant
they are also removed here.

Implied by QEMU >= 1.2.0.
Delete this one first, because QEMU_CAPS_NODEFCONFIG is only used
when QEMU_CAPS_NO_USER_CONFIG is unsupported.

We require QEMU >= 1.5.0, assume every QEMU supports it.
Sadly that does not let us trivially drop qemuMonitor's
priv->monJSON bool, because of qemuDomainQemuAttach.

Similarly to the previous commit, rename .args files.
The files were renamed using the following commands. From
qemuxml2argvdata:
for i in qemuxml2argv-*.args; do mv $i ${i#qemuxml2argv-}; done
and then (to fix broken symlinks) from qemuxml2argvdata and
qemuxml2xmloutdata:
for i in $(find . -xtype l); do \
ln -sf $(readlink $i | sed 's/qemuxml2argv-//') $i;
done
