As qemu becomes more modularized, it is important for libvirt to advertise
availability of the modularized functionality through capabilities. This
change adds channel devices to domain capabilities, allowing clients such
as virt-install to avoid using spicevmc channel devices when not supported
by the target qemu.

Even though several CPU models from various vendors are reported as
usable on a given host, user may still want to use only those that match
the host vendor. Currently the only place where users can check the
vendor of each CPU model is our CPU map, which is considered internal
and users should not really be using it directly. So to allow for such
filtering we now advertise the vendor of each CPU model in domain
capabilities.

Because of v8.5.0-rc1~25 we are already faking TPM support for
domaincaps. Might as well fake supported TPM versions.
The swtpm binary supports both TPM versions since its first
release, but pretend it isn't the case. For QEMU-5.2 and older
pretend only TPM-1.2 is available, QEMU-6.* has both TPM-1.2 and
TPM-2.0 and QEMU-7.0 and newer has only TPM-2.0 available.
This way, domaincaps are more dispersed.

For finding the best matching CPU model for a given set of features
while we don't know the CPU signature (i.e., when computing a baseline
CPU model) we've been using a "shortest list of features" heuristics.
This works well if new CPU models are supersets of older models, but
that's not always the case. As a result it may actually select a new CPU
model as a baseline while removing some features from it to make it
compatible with older models. This is in general worse than using an old
CPU model with a bunch of added features as a guest OS or apps may crash
when using features that were disabled.
On the other hand we don't want to end up with a very old model which
would guarantee no disabled features as it could stop a guest OS or apps
from using some features provided by the CPU because they would not
expect them on such an old CPU.
This patch changes the heuristics to something in between. Enabled and
disabled features are counted separately so that a CPU model requiring
some features to be disabled looks worse than a model with fewer
disabled features even if its complete list of features is longer. The
penalty given for each additional disabled feature gets bigger to make
longer list of disabled features look even worse.
