A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; an example
from the past was the update that disabled TSX on several Haswell
and Broadwell machines.
Therefore, place microcode version in the virQEMUCaps struct and
XML, and rebuild the cache if the versions do not match.

This is a preparation for following patches where we switch to
virFileCache for QEMU capabilities cache
The host arch will always remain the same but virCaps may change. Now
the host arch is stored while creating new qemu capabilities cache.
It removes the need to pass virCaps into virQEMUCapsCache*() functions.

Preparation for switching to virFileCache where there are two callbacks,
one to get a new data and second one to load a cached data.
This also removes virQEMUCapsReset which is no longer required.

Adding new *.replies files for qemucapabilitiestest or updating the
files when libvirt adds an additional QMP command into the probing
process is quite painful. The goal of the new qemucapsprobe command is
to make this process as easy as
tests/qemucapsprobe /path/to/qemu/binary >caps.replies
