The long-deprecated use of <driver name='vfio|xen|kvm'/> in domain xml
for <hostdev> devices was only ever necessary during the period when
libvirt (and the Linux kernel) supported both VFIO and "legacy KVM"
styles of hostdev device assignment for QEMU. This became pointless
many years ago when legacy KVM device assignment was removed from the
kernel, and support for that style of device assignment was completely
disabled in the libvirt source in 2019 (commit
v5.6.0-316-g2e7225ea8c).
Nevertheless, there were instances of <driver name='vfio'/> in the
unit test data that were then (unnecessarily) propagated to several
more tests over the years. This patch cleans out those unnecessary
explicit settings of driver name='vfio' in all QEMU unit test data,
proving that the attribute is no longer (externally) needed. (A later
patch which adds a 2nd attribute to the <driver> element will include
a test case that explicitly exercises the driver name attribute).

Let us fix the issues with zPCI address validation and auto-generation
on s390.
Currently, there are two issues with handling the ZPCI address
extension. Firstly, when the uid is to be auto-generated with a
specified fid, .i.e.:
...
<address type='pci'>
<zpci fid='0x0000001f'/>
</address>
...
we expect uid='0x0001' (or the next available uid for the domain).
However, we get a parsing error:
$ virsh define zpci.xml
error: XML error: Invalid PCI address uid='0x0000', must be > 0x0000
and <= 0xffff
Secondly, when the uid is specified explicitly with the invalid
numerical value '0x0000', we actually expect the parsing error above.
However, the domain is being defined and the uid value is silently
changed to a valid value.
The first issue is a bug and the second one is undesired behaviour, and
both issues are related to how we (in-band) signal invalid values for
uid and fid. So let's fix the XML parsing to do validation based on what
is actually specified in the XML.
The first issue is also related to the current code behaviour, which
is, if either uid or fid is specified by the user, it is incorrectly
assumed that both uid and fid are specified. This bug is fixed by
identifying when the user specified ZPCI address is incomplete and
auto-generating the missing ZPCI address.
