Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

In 0895a0e, it was noted that the "sockets" value in the topology
section of capabilities reflects not the number of sockets per NUMA
node, not the total number.
Unfortunately, the fix was applied to the wrong place: the domain XML
format documentation, not that for the capabilities output. And, in
fact, the domain XML interprets "sockets" as the total number, not a
per-node value.
Back out this change in favour of a note in the capabilities
documentation instead.

Since its v5.0.0 release QEMU is capable of specifying number of
threads used to allocate memory. It defaults to 1, which may be
too low for humongous guests with gigantic pages.
In general, on QEMU cmd line level it is possible to use
different number of threads per each memory-backend-* object, in
practical terms it's not useful. Therefore, use <memoryBacking/>
to set guest wide value and let all memory devices 'inherit' it,
silently. IOW, don't introduce per device knob because that would
only complicate things for a little or no benefit.

The idea of the manual mode is to allow a synchronized snapshot in cases
when the storage is outsourced to an unmanaged storage provider which
requires cooperation with snapshotting.
The mode will instruct the hypervisor to pause along when the other
components are snapshotted and the 'manual' disk can be snapshotted
along. This increases latency of the snapshot but allows them in
otherwise impossible situations.

Our last default template had a match of "node()" which incidentally matched
everything, including text nodes. Since this has the same priority according to
the XSLT spec, section 5.5:
https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#conflict
this is an error. Also according to the same spec section, the XSLT processor
may signal the error or pick the last rule.
This was uncovered with libxslt 1.1.35 which contains the following commit:
b0074eeca3
which makes the build fail with:
runtime error: file ../docs/page.xsl line 223 element element
xsl:element: The effective name '' is not a valid QName.
because our last rule also matches text nodes and we are trying to extract the
node name out of them.
To fix this we change the match to "*" which only matches elements and not all
the nodes, and to avoid any possible errors with different XSLT processors we
also bump the priority of the match="text()" rule a little higher, just in case
someone needs to use an XSLT processor that chooses signalling the error instead
of the optional recovery.

that the default for run_command's 'check' parameter is going to change. It
unveiled the fact that we were even missing that parameter in some calls where
we expected different outcome. To make sure the behaviour does not change
specify the parameter explicitly. In places where we check for the return code
the parameter should be 'false' so that meson does not fail. In all other cases
the parameter should be set to 'true' to make sure possible failure also stops
