742d49fa17 qemu-command: introduce new vgamem attribute for QXL video device
Add attribute to set vgamem_mb parameter of QXL device for QEMU. This
value sets the size of VGA framebuffer for QXL device. Default value in
QEMU is 8MB so reuse it also in libvirt to not break things.

81ba2298b2 video: cleanup usage of vram attribute and update documentation
The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.

This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.

The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

01cda91809 Add pcihole64 element to root PCI controllers
<controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'>
  <pcihole64 unit='KiB'>1048576</pcihole64>
</controller>

It can be used to adjust (or disable) the size of the 64-bit
PCI hole. The size attribute is in kilobytes (different unit
can be specified on input), but it gets rounded up to
the nearest GB by QEMU.

Disabling it will be needed for guests that crash with the
64-bit PCI hole (like Windows XP), see:
