If one of QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL_VGA or QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL is set the
other one will always be set as well because both devices are tied
together in QEMU.
The change of args files is caused by the presence of capability
QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIDEO_PRIMARY which means it's safe to use
"-device qxl-vga" instead of "-vga qxl", see commit (e3f2686b) and
by the fact that if QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL is set QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL_VGA
and QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_QXL would be set too (since we support only qemu
with "-device" option).

When support for dmi-to-pci-bridge was added, it was assumed that,
just as with the pci-root bus, slot 0 was reserved. This is not the
case - it can be used to connect a device just like any other slot, so
remove the restriction and update the test cases that auto-assign an
address on a dmi-to-pci-bridge.
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.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

This resolves one of the issues listed in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003983
00:1E.0 is the location of this controller on at least some actual Q35
hardware, so we try to replicate the placement. The bridge should work
just as well in any other location though, so if 00:1E.0 isn't
available, just allow it to be auto-assigned anywhere appropriate.
This resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008903
The Q35 machinetype has an implicit SATA controller at 00:1F.2 which
isn't given the "expected" id of ahci0 by qemu when it's created. The
original suggested solution to this problem was to not specify any
controller for the disks that use the default controller and just
specify "unit=n" instead; qemu should then use the first IDE or SATA
controller for the disk.
Unfortunately, this "solution" is ignorant of the fact that in the
case of SATA disks, the "unit" attribute in the disk XML is actually
*not* being used for the unit, but is instead used to specify the
"bus" number; each SATA controller has 6 buses, and each bus only
allows a single unit. This makes it nonsensical to specify unit='n'
where n is anything other than 0. It also means that the only way to
connect more than a single device to the implicit SATA controller is
to explicitly give the bus names, which happen to be "ide.$n", where
$n can be replaced by the disk's "unit" number.
On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
QEMU commit 3984890 introduced the "pci-hole64-size" property,
to i440FX-pcihost and q35-pcihost with a default setting of 2 GB.
Translate <pcihole64>x<pcihole64/> to:
-global q35-pcihost.pci-hole64-size=x for q35 machines and
-global i440FX-pcihost.pci-hole64-size=x for i440FX-based machines.
Error out on other machine types or if the size was specified
but the pcihost device lacks 'pci-hole64-size' property.
