A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; an example
from the past was the update that disabled TSX on several Haswell
and Broadwell machines.
Therefore, place microcode version in the virQEMUCaps struct and
XML, and rebuild the cache if the versions do not match.

Detect the capability via the query-qmp-schema for blockdev-add
to find the 'password-secret' parameter that will allow the iSCSI
code to use the master secret object to encrypt the secret for an
and only need to provide the object id of the secret on the command
line thus obsfuscating the passphrase.
'share-rw' for the disk device configures qemu to allow concurrent
access to the backing storage.
The capability is checked in various supported disk frontend buses since
it does not make sense to partially backport it.
Up until now we assumed the spapr-vty device would always be
present, which is not very nice. Check for its availability before
using it instead.

The architecture itself is called ppc64, and it can run both in big
endian and little endian mode - the latter is known as ppc64le.
From the (virtual) hardware point of view, ppc64 is a more accurate
name so it should be used here.
