The QEMU binary is built from the v7.0.0-rc2 tag.
This causes the argument to -device to be generated in JSON
format, same as what 1a691fe1c8 has done for x86_64.

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.

'-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'.

Internally format the PCI controller properties into JSON, but convert
it back to a string so that we for now change just the SCSI controller.
The change in tests is expected as the 'port' field for various PCI
controllers is expected to be a number and thus can't be represented as
a hexadecimal value in JSON.
QEMU expects the following types:
'pci-bridge'
chassis_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pxb-pcie':
bus_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pcie-root-port'
port=<uint8> - (default: 0)
chassis=<uint8> - (default: 0)
hotplug=<bool> - (default: true)

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 -audiodev argument is replacing the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable (and
its relations).
Sadly we still have to use the SDL_AUDIODRIVER env variable because that
wasn't mapped into QAPI schema.

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.

Now that all pieces are in place (hopefully) let's enable -blockdev.
We base the capability on presence of the fix for 'auto-read-only' on
files so that blockdev works properly, mandate that qemu supports
explicit SCSI id strings to avoid ABI regression and that the fix for
'savevm' is present so that internal snapshots work.
