59a22be864 qemuxml2xmltest: Add memfd tests
Somehow, these were not tested. Use symlinks to point expected
output back to the input. This way we can also fix some
discrepancies in the input XMLs.

7086c835b6 qemuxml2argvdata: Drop useless spaces at the beginning of lines
There are three test XMLs that have useless spaces at the
beginning of each line. I intend to add these to qemuxml2xmltest
and make xmlout a symlink to the original XML. In order to do
that the XMLs must look better than they do now.

24b74d187c qemu: add memfd source type
Add a new memoryBacking source type "memfd", supported by QEMU (when
the capability is available).

A memfd is a specialized anonymous memory kind. As such, an anonymous
source type could be automatically using a memfd. However, there are
some complications when migrating from different memory backends in
qemu (mainly due to the internal object naming at this point, but
there could be more). For now, it is simpler and safer to simply
introduce a new source type "memfd". Eventually, the "anonymous" type
could learn to use memfd transparently in a separate change.

The main benefits are that it doesn't need to create filesystem files,
and it also enforces sealing, providing a bit more safety.
