The default_tls_x509_verify (and related) parameters in qemu.conf
control whether the QEMU TLS servers request & verify certificates
from clients. This works as a simple access control system for
servers by requiring the CA to issue certs to permitted clients.
This use of client certificates is disabled by default, since it
requires extra work to issue client certificates.
Unfortunately the code was using this configuration parameter when
setting up both TLS clients and servers in QEMU. The result was that
TLS clients for character devices and disk devices had verification
turned off, meaning they would ignore errors while validating the
server certificate.
This allows for trivial MITM attacks between client and server,
as any certificate returned by the attacker will be accepted by
the client.
This is assigned CVE-2017-1000256 / LSN-2017-0002

Our test data used a lot of different qemu binary paths and some
of them were based on downstream systems.
Note that there is one file where I had to add "accel=kvm" because
the qemuargv2xml code parses "/usr/bin/kvm" as virt type="kvm".

Add the secret object so the 'passwordid=' can be added if the command line
if there's a secret defined in/on the host for TCP chardev TLS objects.
Preparation for the secret involves adding the secinfo to the char source
device prior to command line processing. There are multiple possibilities
for TCP chardev source backend usage.
Add test for at least a serial chardev as an example.
