a52c68443d qemu_command: Always use modern syntax of '-m'
Specify the memory size by using '-m size=2048k' instead of just '-m 2'.

The new syntax is used when memory hotplug is enabled. To preserve
memory sizing, if memory hotplug is disabled the size is rounded down to
the nearest mebibyte.

0b464cd84f tests: Drop more QEMU driver config overrides
These are allegedly necessary to keep the output consistent,
but now that we're using a privileged config for the driver we
get the desired behavior out of the box, and as a bonus the
paths match what you would actually see on a regular host.

98c4e3d073 qemu: Use '-machine acpi=on/off' instead of deprecated '-no-acpi'
QEMU deprecated the '-no-acpi' option, thus we should switch to the
modern way to use '-machine'.

Certain ARM machine types don't support ACPI. Given our historically
broken design of using '<acpi/>' without attribute to enable ACPI and
qemu's default of enabling it without '-no-acpi' such configurations
would not work.

Now when qemu reports whether given machine type supports ACPI we can do
a better decision and un-break those configs. Unfortunately not
retroactively.

1a691fe1c8 qemu: capabilities: Re-enable JSON syntax for -device
Now that qemu fixed device unplug when JSON syntax is used with -device
we can re-enable the feature.

Since the old capability string representation is condemned by
suggesting filtering it as a workaround we must introduce a new string.
To achieve this the original capability position is renamed to
X_QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON_BROKEN_HOTPLUG and a new position with the
original name QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON is introduced to prevent us having
to change the rest of the code.

bd3d00babc qemu: Revert to using non-JSON commandline for -device
When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.

Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.

This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.

For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':

   capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:

   <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
     [...]
     <qemu:capabilities>
       <qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
     </qemu:capabilities>
   </domain>

We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.

c9880b647b qemuxml2argvdata: Use proper arch and emulator for x86 real capability tests
Upcoming patches will modify how we populate the capability cache in
tests to be more saner. This also means that the emulator binary and
architecture used in the test files using real capabilities must match
what the real capabilities have.

d20ebdda28 qemu: Switch to -accel
We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.

The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON

The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.
