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.

bd51f89c30 qemu: Implement builtin rng backend
Since v4.2-rc0, QEMU introduced a builtin rng backend that uses
getrandom() syscall to generate random. Add it to libvirt with the
backend model 'builtin'.
