Added "rss" and "rss_hash_report" configuration that should be
used with qemu virtio RSS. Both options are triswitches. Used as
"driver" options and affects only NIC with model type "virtio".
In other patches - options should turn on virtio-net RSS and hash
properties.

As of April 23 2022, Ubuntu 20.04 will be out for two years, which means
we no longer have to support Ubuntu 18.04 along with qemu-2.11 shipped
with it.
This then brings the minimum qemu version we have to support to
qemu-3.1:
Debian 10/Stable: 3.1
OpenSUSE Leap 15.3: 5.2
Ubuntu 20.04: 4.2
RHEL/Centos 8.4: 4.2
Next event in this space will be 2023/07/06 when Debian 11 will be out
for two years.

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

In 0895a0e, it was noted that the "sockets" value in the topology
section of capabilities reflects not the number of sockets per NUMA
node, not the total number.
Unfortunately, the fix was applied to the wrong place: the domain XML
format documentation, not that for the capabilities output. And, in
fact, the domain XML interprets "sockets" as the total number, not a
per-node value.
Back out this change in favour of a note in the capabilities
documentation instead.

Upcoming patches will add possibility to override configuration of a

QEMU's '-set' parameter, which doesn't work when we use JSON to
instantiate devices.

Some versions of Windows hang on reboot if their TSC value is greater
than 2^54. The workaround is to reset the TSC to a small value. Add
to the domain configuration an attribute for this. It can be used
by QEMU and in principle also by ESXi, which has a property called
monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC as well.

Since its v5.0.0 release QEMU is capable of specifying number of
threads used to allocate memory. It defaults to 1, which may be
too low for humongous guests with gigantic pages.
In general, on QEMU cmd line level it is possible to use
different number of threads per each memory-backend-* object, in
practical terms it's not useful. Therefore, use <memoryBacking/>
to set guest wide value and let all memory devices 'inherit' it,
silently. IOW, don't introduce per device knob because that would
only complicate things for a little or no benefit.

The idea of the manual mode is to allow a synchronized snapshot in cases
when the storage is outsourced to an unmanaged storage provider which
requires cooperation with snapshotting.
The mode will instruct the hypervisor to pause along when the other
components are snapshotted and the 'manual' disk can be snapshotted
along. This increases latency of the snapshot but allows them in
otherwise impossible situations.
