Some qemu arch/machine types have built in platform devices that
are always implicitly available. For platform serial devices, the
current code assumes that only old style -serial config can be
used for these devices.
Apparently though since -chardev was introduced, we can use -chardev
in these cases, like this:
-chardev pty,id=foo
-serial chardev:foo
Since -chardev enables all sorts of modern features, use this method
for platform devices.

AFAIK there aren't any cases where we will/should hit the old code
path for our supported qemu versions, so drop the old code.
Massive test suite churn follows

Depending on the architecture, requirements for ACPI and UEFI can
be different; more specifically, while on x86 UEFI requires ACPI,
on aarch64 it's the other way around.
Enforce these requirements when validating the domain, and make
the error message more accurate by mentioning that they're not
necessarily applicable to all architectures.
Several aarch64 test cases had to be tweaked because they would
have failed the validation step otherwise.
The '-usb' option doesn't have any effect for aarch64 mach-virt
guests, so the fact that it's currently enabled by default is not
really causing any issue.
However, that might change in the future (although unlikely), and
having it as part of the QEMU command line can cause confusion to
someone looking through the process list.
Avoid it completely, like it's already happening for q35.
Per-domain directories were introduced in order to be able to
completely separate security labels for each domain (commit
f1f68ca334). However when the domain
name is long (let's say a ridiculous 110 characters), we cannot
connect to the monitor socket because on length of UNIX socket address
is limited. In order to get around this, let's shorten it in similar
fashion and in order to avoid conflicts, throw in an ID there as well.
Also save that into the status XML and load the old status XMLs
properly (to clean up after older domains). That way we can change it
in the future.
The shortening can be seen in qemuxml2argv tests, for example in the
hugepages-pages2 case.

Just recently, qemu forbade specifying format for sourceless
disks (qemu commit 39c4ae941ed992a3bb5). It kind of makes sense.
If there's no file to open, why specify its format. Anyway, I
have a domain like this:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
and obviously I am unable to start it. Therefore, a fix on our
side is needed too.

As of QEMU 0.10.0 the -drive format= parameter was added,
so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available.

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

Libvirt didn't prefix the random number generator backend object alias
with any string thus the device alias and object alias were identical.
To avoid possible problems, rename the alias for the backend object and
tweak tests to comply with the change.

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
AArch64 qemu has similar behavior as armv7l, like use of mmio etc.
This patch adds similar bypass checks what we have for armv7l to aarch64.
E.g. we are enabling mmio transport for Nicdev.
Making addDefaultUSB and addDefaultMemballoon to false etc.
V3:
- Adding missing domain rng schema for aarcg64 and test case in
testutilsqemu.c which was causing test suite failure
while running make check.
V2:
- Added testcase to qemuxml2argvtest as suggested
during review comments of V1.
V1:
- Initial patch.
