88957116c9 qemu: Use memory-backend-* for regular guest memory
So far, Libvirt configures memory-backend-* for memory hotplug,
possibly NUMA nodes and in a few other cases. This patch
switches to constructing the memory-backend-* command line for
all cases. To keep ability to migrate guests a little hack is
used: the ID of the object is set to the one that QEMU uses
internally anyways. These IDs are stable (first started to appear
somewhere around v0.13.0-rc0~96) and can't change.

In fact, this patch does exactly what QEMU does internally. The
reason for moving the logic into Libvirt is that QEMU wants to
deprecate the old style of specifying memory.

So far, only x84_64 test cases are changed, because tests for
other architectures use older capabilities, which still lack the
QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_MEMORY_BACKEND capability and they don't report
the RAM ID.

3b8feb4793 qemu: capabilities: Replace aliased machine type by copy of the canonical machine
The previous approac of just purging the alias combined with the fact
that we filled in fake machine types in the test data meant that if a
test case used an alias machine type such as 'pc' or 'q35' it would not
properly resolve to the actual data returned by qemu.

This started to be a problem since the CPU driver now looks at the
default CPU reported with the machine type.

This patch replaces the original approach of just removing the alias by
replacing it with a copy of the machine type data which the type would
alias to. This means that we are using the real data while we don't
modify the test output after every qemu upgrade.

Additionally this change will allow us to drop adding the fake machine
types later.

The test fallout is from actually excercising the CPU driver with
actual data.

e8c2c8bd07 qemu_command: Prefer '-overcommit mem-lock' over -realtime mlock'
The latter is deprecated and will be removed soon. The advised
replacement is '-overcommit mem-lock=on|off'.

75a9169881 qemu: command: Override HOME variable for system QEMU
By default, qemu user's home dir points to '/' which shouldn't be used
at all. We therefore pass the HOME variable from the current variable
iff not running as SUID, which means that for systemd we never set it.
This patch makes sure, that for system QEMU this is always set to
libDir/<driver>, session mode is left untouched.

7e73137495 qemu: command: Enforce setting XDG variables for system QEMU
For session mode, only XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, because we want to remain
integrating with services in user session, but for system mode, this
would have become reading/writing to '/' which carries the obvious issue
with permissions (also, '/' is the wrong location in 99.9% cases anyway).
