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.

When we unconditionally enable QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, these tests need
some massaging, so do it ahead of time to not mix it in with the
big test refresh.
- minimal-s390 is not a real world working config, so drop it
- disk-usb was testing for an old code path that will be removed.
instead use it to test lack of USB disk support, and rename it
to disk-usb-nosupport. Switch xml2xml to use disk-usb-device for
input.
- cputune-numatune was needlessly using q35, switch it to an older
machine type

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.

When qemuDomainPinIOThread was added in commit id 'fb562614', a check
for the IOThread capability was not needed since a check for iothreadpids
covered the condition where the support for IOThreads was not present.
The iothreadpids array was only created if qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs
was able to query the monitor for IOThreads. It would only do that if
the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability was set.
However, when iothreadids were added in commit id '8d4614a5' and the
check for iothreadpids was replaced by a search through the iothreadids[]
array for the matching iothread_id that left open the possibility that
an iothreadids[] array was defined, but the entries essentially pointed
to elements with only the 'iothread_id' defined leaving the 'thread_id'
value of 0 and eventually the cpumap entry of NULL.
This was because, the original IOThreads commit id '72edaae7' only
checked if IOThreads were defined and if the emulator had the IOThreads
capability, then IOThread objects were added at startup. The "capability
failure" check was only done when a disk was assigned to an IOThread in
qemuCheckIOThreads. This was because the initial implementation had no way
to dynamically add IOThreads, but it was possible to dynamically add a
disk to the domain. So the decision was if the domain supported it, then
add the IOThread objects. Then if a disk with an IOThread defined was
added, it could check the capability and fail to add if not there. This
just meant the 'iothreads' value was essentially ignored.
Eventually commit id 'a27ed6e7' allowed for the dynamic addition and
deletion of IOThread objects. So it was no longer necessary to generate
IOThread objects to dynamically attach a disk to. However, the startup
and disk check code was not modified to reflect this.
This patch will move the capability failure check to when IOThread
objects are being added to the command line. Thus a domain that has
IOThreads defined will not be started if the emulator doesn't support
the capability. This means when qemuCheckIOThreads is called to add
a disk, it's no longer necessary to check the capability. Instead the
code can use the IOThreadFind call to indicate that the IOThread
doesn't exist.
Finally because it could be possible to have a domain running with the
iothreadids[] defined prior to this change if libvirtd is restarted each
having mostly empty elements, qemuProcessDetectIOThreadPIDs will check
if there are niothreadids when the QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD capability
check fails and remove the elements and array if it exists.
With these changes in place, it turns out the cputune-numatune test
was failing because the right bit wasn't set in the test. So used the
opportunity to fix that and create a test that would expect to fail
with some sort of iothreads defined and used, but not having the
correct capability.
So, when building the '-numa' command line, the
qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr() function does quite a lot of checks to
chose the best backend, or to check if one is in fact needed. However,
it returned that backend is needed even for this little fella:
<numatune>
<memory mode="strict" nodeset="0,2"/>
</numatune>
This can be guaranteed via CGroups entirely, there's no need to use
memory-backend-ram to let qemu know where to get memory from. Well, as
long as there's no <memnode/> element, which explicitly requires the
backend. Long story short, we wouldn't have to care, as qemu works
either way. However, the problem is migration (as always). Previously,
libvirt would have started qemu with:
-numa node,memory=X
in this case and restricted memory placement in CGroups. Today, libvirt
creates more complicated command line:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=X
-numa node,memdev=ram-node0
Again, one wouldn't find anything wrong with these two approaches.
Both work just fine. Unless you try to migrated from the older libvirt
into the newer one. These two approaches are, unfortunately, not
compatible. My suggestion is, in order to allow users to migrate, lets
use the older approach for as long as the newer one is not needed.
