6f6e1f902a cpu: Export few x86-specific APIs
This makes virCPUx86DataAddCPUID, virCPUx86DataFree, and
virCPUx86MakeData available for direct usage outside of cpu driver in
tests and the new qemu monitor that will request the actual CPU
definition from a running qemu instance.

f9ce7dad60 Desert the FSF address in copyright
Per the FSF address could be changed from time to time, and GNU
recommends the following now: (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html)

  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with Foobar.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

This patch removes the explicit FSF address, and uses above instead
(of course, with inserting 'Lesser' before 'General').

Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:

  src/security/security_selinux.h
  src/security/security_driver.h
  src/security/security_selinux.c
  src/security/security_apparmor.h
  src/security/security_apparmor.c

7286882c34 Adds CPU selection infrastructure
Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.

When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.

For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:

    virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)

Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.

Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):

- convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
  data structures each representing one of the feature policies:

    cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
              &forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
              &disabled_data, &forbidden_data)

- create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
  to the hypervisor

Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):

- get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:

    cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)

- decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
  allowed model names:

    cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)

- pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor
