Now that qemu fixed device unplug when JSON syntax is used with -device
we can re-enable the feature.
Since the old capability string representation is condemned by
suggesting filtering it as a workaround we must introduce a new string.
To achieve this the original capability position is renamed to
X_QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON_BROKEN_HOTPLUG and a new position with the
original name QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON is introduced to prevent us having
to change the rest of the code.

When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.
Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.
This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.
For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':
capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
[...]
<qemu:capabilities>
<qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
</qemu:capabilities>
</domain>
We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.

We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.
The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

Starting with QEMU-6.2 started accepting a JSON object as argument for
'-device' which will also become the only syntax considered stable by
qemu in the future.
Since libvirt was recently converted to generate the properties via JSON
to begin wit we can start using it on the commandline as well, by simply
enabling the QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON capability, which we do by probing
for the 'json-cli' feature flag of 'device_add'.
Normally a change which changes a commandline output should be happening
only after the impacted real-caps test files are forked in the version
preceding the change, but in this case it's not necessary as the logic
for generating the device properties stays identical and we just change
the output format (avoid conversion). Additionally we still have a lot
of tests validating the conversion to the old commandline options.

virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.
The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.
Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

The preferred syntax for boolean options is to set the value "on" or
"off". QEMU 7.1.0 will deprecate the short format we currently use.
The long format has been supported with -chardev since at least 1.5.3,
so we don't need to check for it.

So far, Libvirt configures memory-backend-* for memory hotplug,
possibly NUMA nodes and in a few other cases. This patch
switches to constructing the memory-backend-* command line for
all cases. To keep ability to migrate guests a little hack is
used: the ID of the object is set to the one that QEMU uses
internally anyways. These IDs are stable (first started to appear
somewhere around v0.13.0-rc0~96) and can't change.
In fact, this patch does exactly what QEMU does internally. The
reason for moving the logic into Libvirt is that QEMU wants to
deprecate the old style of specifying memory.
So far, only x84_64 test cases are changed, because tests for
other architectures use older capabilities, which still lack the
QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_MEMORY_BACKEND capability and they don't report
the RAM ID.

The previous approac of just purging the alias combined with the fact
that we filled in fake machine types in the test data meant that if a
test case used an alias machine type such as 'pc' or 'q35' it would not
properly resolve to the actual data returned by qemu.
This started to be a problem since the CPU driver now looks at the
default CPU reported with the machine type.
This patch replaces the original approach of just removing the alias by
replacing it with a copy of the machine type data which the type would
alias to. This means that we are using the real data while we don't
modify the test output after every qemu upgrade.
Additionally this change will allow us to drop adding the fake machine
types later.
The test fallout is from actually excercising the CPU driver with
actual data.

We base the capability on presence of the fix for 'auto-read-only' on

explicit SCSI id strings to avoid ABI regression and that the fix for
'savevm' is present so that internal snapshots work.
