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.

9517890f7c tests: qemuxml2argv: Use proper replacement for 'pc-i440fx-wily' machine
This machine type comes from downstream ubuntu 15.10. Replace it with a
somewhat equivalent qemu-2.3 machine type as we do have test data for
that.

The change allows the CPU code to pick a proper default CPU in the
'-latest' cases.

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'.

6864d8f740 qemuBuildMemoryBackendProps: Get pagesize early
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693066

Up until memfd introduction (in 24b74d187c) we did not need to
know @pagesize because qemuGetDomainHupageMemPath() could deal
with it being zero (value of zero means use the default hugetlbfs
mount). But since for memfd we are not passing a path to
hugetlbfs mount rather the page size value we need to know its
value upfront.
