When creating host CPU definition usable with a given emulator, the CPU
should not be defined using an unsupported CPU model. The new @models
and @nmodels parameters can be used to limit CPU models which can be
used in the result.

cpuNodeData has always been followed by cpuDecode as no hypervisor
driver is really interested in raw CPUID data for a host CPU. Let's
create a new CPU driver API which returns virCPUDefPtr directly.

All Intel Haswell processors (except Xeon E7 v3 with stepping >= 4) have
TSX disabled by microcode update. As not all CPUs are guaranteed to be
patched with microcode updates we need to explicitly disable TSX on
affected CPUs to avoid its accidental usage.

The CPU driver provides APIs to create and free virCPUDataPtr. Thus all
APIs exported from the driver should work with that rather than
requiring the caller to pass a pointer to an internal part of the
structure.
In other words
virCPUx86DataAddCPUID(cpudata, &cpuid)
is much better than the original
virCPUx86DataAddCPUID(&cpudata->data.x86, &cpuid)

longer required to implement their own freeing function unless they need

Strings associated with virDomainHyperv values in domain_conf.c are used to
construct HyperV CPU features names to be compared with names defined in
cpu_x86_data.h and the names for HyperV "spinlocks" feature don't match.
This leads to a misleading warning:
"host doesn't support hyperv 'spinlocks' feature" even when it's supported.
Let's fix it and rename along with it VIR_CPU_x86_KVM_HV_SPINLOCK to
VIR_CPU_x86_KVM_HV_SPINLOCKS.

virCPUDefStealModel is called with keepVendor == true which means the
cpu structure will keep its original vendor/vendor_id values. Thus it
makes no sense to copy them to the translated definition as they won't
be used there anyway. Except that the translated->vendor pointer might
get lost in x86Decode.

We have couple of functions that operate over NULL terminated
lits of strings. However, our naming sucks:
virStringJoin
virStringFreeList
virStringFreeListCount
virStringArrayHasString
virStringGetFirstWithPrefix
We can do better:
virStringListJoin
virStringListFree
virStringListFreeCount
virStringListHasString
virStringListGetFirstWithPrefix

Guest CPU definitions with mode='custom' and missing <vendor> are
expected to run on a host CPU from any vendor as long as the required
CPU model can be used as a guest CPU on the host. But even though no CPU
vendor was explicitly requested we would sometimes force it due to a bug
in virCPUUpdate and virCPUTranslate.
The bug would effectively forbid cross vendor migrations even if they
were previously working just fine.

Both cpuCompare* APIs are renamed to virCPUCompare*. And they should now
work for any guest CPU definition, i.e., even for host-passthrough
(trivial) and host-model CPUs. The implementation in x86 driver is
enhanced to provide a hint about -noTSX Broadwell and Haswell models
when appropriate.

The reworked API is now called virCPUUpdate and it should change the
provided CPU definition into a one which can be consumed by the QEMU
command line builder:
- host-passthrough remains unchanged
- host-model is turned into custom CPU with a model and features
copied from host
- custom CPU with minimum match is converted similarly to host-model
- optional features are updated according to host's CPU

When starting a guest and copying host vendor cpuid to the guest
cpu, libvirtd would crash if the host cpu contained a NULL vendor
field. Avoid the crash by checking for a valid vendor in the host
cpu before copying the cpuid to the guest cpu.

Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

virCPUData, virCPUx86Feature, and virCPUx86Model all contained a pointer
to virCPUx86Data, which was not very nice since the real CPUID data were
accessible by yet another pointer from virCPUx86Data. Moreover, using
virCPUx86Data directly will make static definitions of internal CPU
features a bit easier.
