926594dcc8 qemu: Add implicit watchdog for q35 machine types
The iTCO watchdog is part of the q35 machine type since its inception,
we just did not add it implicitly.

e88367095f qemu: populate <audio> element with default config
Currently the QEMU driver secretly sets the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable

 - VNC - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set
 - SPICE - always set to "spice"
 - SDL - always passthrough host env
 - No graphics - set to "none", unless passthrough of host env variable is set

The setting of the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable is done in the code which
configures graphics.

If no <audio> element is present, we now auto-populate <audio> elements
to reflect this historical default config. This avoids need to set audio
env when processing graphics.

5e939cea89 qemu: Store default CPU in domain XML
When starting a domain without a CPU model specified in the domain XML,
QEMU will choose a default one. Which is fine unless the domain gets
migrated to another host because libvirt doesn't perform any CPU ABI
checks and the virtual CPU provided by QEMU on the destination host can
differ from the one on the source host.

With QEMU 4.2.0 we can probe for the default CPU model used by QEMU for
a particular machine type and store it in the domain XML. This way the
chosen CPU model is more visible to users and libvirt will make sure
the guest will see the exact same CPU after migration.

Architecture specific notes
- aarch64: We only set the default CPU for TCG domains as KVM requires
  explicit "-cpu host" to work.

- ppc64: The default CPU for KVM is "host" thanks to some hacks in QEMU,
  we will translate the default model to the model corresponding to the
  host CPU ("POWER8" on a Power8 host, "POWER9" on Power9 host, etc.).
  This is not a problem as the corresponding CPU model is in fact an
  alias for "host". This is probably not ideal, but it's not wrong and
  the default virtual CPU configured by libvirt is the same QEMU would
  use. TCG uses various CPU models depending on machine type and its
  version.

- s390x: The default CPU for KVM is "host" while TCG defaults to "qemu".

- x86_64: The default CPU model (qemu64) is not runnable on any host
  with KVM, but QEMU just disables unavailable features and starts
  happily.
