When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.
Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.
This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.
For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':
capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
[...]
<qemu:capabilities>
<qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
</qemu:capabilities>
</domain>
We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.

We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.
The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON
as the argument. Convert our code to use it directly.
The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.

These were generated using a QEMU binary built from commit
v6.1.0-1552-g362534a643
Notably, this causes the arguments of -device to be generated
in JSON format.

Internally format the PCI controller properties into JSON, but convert
it back to a string so that we for now change just the SCSI controller.
The change in tests is expected as the 'port' field for various PCI
controllers is expected to be a number and thus can't be represented as
a hexadecimal value in JSON.
QEMU expects the following types:
'pci-bridge'
chassis_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pxb-pcie':
bus_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pcie-root-port'
port=<uint8> - (default: 0)
chassis=<uint8> - (default: 0)
hotplug=<bool> - (default: true)

virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.
The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.
Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

The -audiodev argument is replacing the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable (and
its relations).
Sadly we still have to use the SDL_AUDIODRIVER env variable because that
wasn't mapped into QAPI schema.

The preferred syntax for boolean options is to set the value "on" or
"off". QEMU 7.1.0 will deprecate the short format we currently use.
The long format has been supported with -chardev since at least 1.5.3,
so we don't need to check for it.

Now that all pieces are in place (hopefully) let's enable -blockdev.
We base the capability on presence of the fix for 'auto-read-only' on
files so that blockdev works properly, mandate that qemu supports
explicit SCSI id strings to avoid ABI regression and that the fix for
'savevm' is present so that internal snapshots work.

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.
