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.

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.

Our QEMU test suite effectively covers the qemu:///system
scenario, and we have to partially replace the unprivileged
config with its privileged equivalent after the fact to keep up
the illusion.
Instead of jumping through these extra hoops, we can simply
start with a privileged configuration matching the privileged
driver we're creating for test programs.
This change highlights that we were missing a couple of
overrides, specifically in the tests for passt and dbus. Now
that we're creating a privileged config, this kind of issue
shouldn't be able to slip into the test suite.

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.

QEMU's "reconnect" option of "-netdev stream" tells QEMU to
periodically (period is given in seconds as an argument to the option)
attempt to reconnect to the same passt socket to which it had
originally connected to. This is useful in cases where the passt
process terminates, and libvirtd starts a new passt process in its
place (which doesn't happen yet, but will happen automatically after
an upcoming patch in this series).
Since there is no real hueristic for determining the "best" value of
the reconnect interval, rather than clutter up config with a knob that
nobody knows how to properly twiddle, we just set the reconnect timer
to 5 seconds.
"-netdev stream" first appeared in QEMU 7.2.0, but the reconnect
option won't be available until QEMU 8.0.0, so we need to check QEMU
capabilities just in case someone is using QEMU 7.2.0 (and thus can
support passt backend, but not reconnect)

This consists of (1) adding the necessary args to the qemu commandline
netdev option, and (2) starting a passt process prior to starting
qemu, and making sure that it is terminated when it's no longer
needed. Under normal circumstances, passt will terminate itself as
soon as qemu closes its socket, but in case of some error where qemu
is never started, or fails to startup completely, we need to terminate
passt manually.
