As with other devices assign the slot number right away when adding the
device. This will make the slot numbers static as we do with other
addressing elements and it will ultimately simplify allocation of the
alias in a static way which does not break with qemu.
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.

As of QEMU 0.9.1 the -drive argument can be used to configure
all disks, so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available
and drop support for -hda/-cdrom/etc.
Many of the tests need updating because a great many were
running without CAPS_DRIVE set, so using the -hda legacy
syntax.
Fixing the tests uncovered a bug in the argv -> xml
convertor which failed to handle disk with if=floppy.

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.

So far the argument has not much meaning and was practically ignored.
This is not good since when doing memory hotplug, the size of desired
hugepage backing is passed in that argument. Taking closer look at the
tests I'm fixing reveals the bug. For instance, while the following is
in the test:
<memory model='dimm'>
<source>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>4096</pagesize>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524287</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
<address type='dimm' slot='0' base='0x100000000'/>
</memory>
the generated commandline corresponding to this XML was:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=memdimm0,size=536870912,\
host-nodes=1-3,policy=bind
Have you noticed? Yes, memory-backend-ram! Nothing can be further away
from the right answer. The hugepage backing is requested in the XML
and we happily ignore it. This is just not right. It's
memory-backend-file which should have been used:
-object memory-backend-file,id=memdimm0,prealloc=yes,\
mem-path=/dev/hugepages4M/libvirt/qemu,size=536870912,\
host-nodes=1-3,policy=bind
The problem is, that @pagesize passed to qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr
(where this part of commandline is built) was ignored. The hugepage to
back memory was searched only and only by NUMA nodes pinning. This
works only for regular guest NUMA nodes.
Then, I'm changing the hugepages size in the test XMLs too. This is
simply because in the test suite we create dummy mount points just for
2M and 1G hugepages. And in the test 4M was requested. I'm sticking to
2M, but 1G should just work too.

Add support to start qemu instance with 'pc-dimm' device. Thanks to the
refactors we are able to reuse the existing function to determine the
parameters.
