Since there's no capability to check now, we can simply move the
formatting of 'max_outputs' earlier.

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.

Upcoming patches will modify how we populate the capability cache in
tests to be more saner. This also means that the emulator binary and
architecture used in the test files using real capabilities must match
what the real capabilities have.

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.

'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON
as the argument. Convert our code to use it directly.
The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.
