If a management application wants to use firmware auto selection
feature it can't currently know if the libvirtd it's talking to
support is or not. Moreover, it doesn't know which values that
are accepted for the @firmware attribute of <os/> when parsing
will allow successful start of the domain later, i.e. if the mgmt
application wants to use 'bios' whether there exists a FW
descriptor in the system that describes bios.
This commit then adds 'firmware' enum to <os/> element in
<domainCapabilities/> XML like this:
<enum name='firmware'>
<value>bios</value>
<value>efi</value>
</enum>
We can see both 'bios' and 'efi' listed which means that there
are descriptors for both found in the system (matched with the
machine type and architecture reported in the domain capabilities
earlier and not shown here).

We only formatted the <sev> element when QEMU supported the feature when
in fact we should always format the element to make clear that libvirt
knows about the feature and the fact whether it is or isn't supported
depends on QEMU version, in other words if QEMU doesn't support the
feature we're going to format the following into the domain capabilities
XML:
<sev supported='no'/>
This patch also adjusts the RNG schema accordingly in order to reflect
the proposed change.

We can start qemu with a "cpu,+la57" to set 57-bit vitrual address
space. So VM can be aware that it need to enable 5-level paging.
Corresponding QEMU commits:
al57 6c7c3c21f95dd9af8a0691c0dd29b07247984122
The features were added to QEMU by commit v2.4.0-1690-gf7fda28094 as
Skylake Server features.

Add a path for UEFI VMs for AArch32 VMs, based on the path Debian is using.
libvirt is the de facto canonical location for defining where distros
should place these firmware images, so let's define this path here to try
and minimize distro fragmentation.
The static CPU model expansion is designed to return only canonical
names of all CPU properties. To maintain backwards compatibility libvirt
is stuck with different spelling of some of the features, but we need to
use the full expansion to get the additional spellings. In addition to
returning all spelling variants for all properties the full expansion
will contain properties which are not guaranteed to be migration
compatible. Thus, we need to combine both expansions. First we need to
call the static expansion to limit the result to migratable properties.
Then we can use the result of the static expansion as an input to the
full expansion to get both canonical names and their aliases.
