ecbce92371 qemu: Adapt to new way of specifying PC speaker
Historically, the way to set PC speaker for a guest was to pass:

  -soundhw pcspk

but as of QEMU commit v5.1.0-rc0~28^2~3 this is deprecated and we
should use:

  -machine pcspk-audiodev=$id

instead. The old way was then removed in commit v7.1.0-rc0~99^2~3.

Now, ideally we would have a capability selecting whether we talk
to a QEMU that understands the new way or not. But it's not that
simple - the machine attribute is just an alias to the .audiodev=
attribute of 'isa-pcspk' object and both are created in
pc_machine_initfn() function, i.e. not then the PC_MACHINE() class
is initialized, but when it's instantiated. IOW, it's not possible
for us to query whether we're dealing with older or newer QEMU.

But given that the newer version is supported since v5.1.0 and the
minimal version we require is v4.2.0 (i.e. there are two releases
which don't understand the newer cmd line) and how frequently this
feature is (un-)used (the issue was reported after ~1 year since it
stopped working), I believe we can live without any capability and
just use the newer cmd line unconditionally.

a52c68443d qemu_command: Always use modern syntax of '-m'
Specify the memory size by using '-m size=2048k' instead of just '-m 2'.

The new syntax is used when memory hotplug is enabled. To preserve
memory sizing, if memory hotplug is disabled the size is rounded down to
the nearest mebibyte.

d6d4cfa5fc qemuxml2(argv|xml)test: Modernize 'sound-device' case
Drop the unnecessary disk definition and use x86_64 emulator.

For 'qemuxml2argvtest' replace the fake-caps invocation by a 4.2.0
version-locked invocation and  add a '_CAPS_LATEST' invocation.

For 'qemuxml2xmltest' convert to use '_CAPS_LATEST' only.

There are no sound-device relevant changes in the output files.
