d065934cd0 cputest: Switch host CPU data scripts to model expansion
Instantiating "host" CPU and querying it using qom-get has been the only
way of probing host CPU via QEMU until 2.9.0 implemented
query-cpu-model-expansion for x86_64. Even though libvirt never really
used the old way its result can be easily converted into the one
produced by query-cpu-model-expansion. Thus we can reuse the original
test data and possible get new data from hosts where QEMU does not
support the new QMP command.

3704b9003f tests: Add CPU detection tests
So far we only test CPUID -> CPU def conversion on artificial CPUID data
computed from another CPU def. This patch adds the infrastructure to
test this conversion on real data gathered from a host CPU and two
helper scripts for adding new test data:

- cpu-gather.sh runs cpuid tool and qemu-system-x86_64 to get CPUID data
  from the host CPU; this is what users can be asked to run if they run
  into an issue with host CPU detection in libvirt

- cpu-parse.sh takes the data generated by cpu-gather.sh and creates
  data files for CPU detection tests

The CPUID data queried from QEMU will eventually switch to the format
used by query-host-cpu QMP command once QEMU implements it. Until then
we just spawn QEMU with -cpu host and query the guest CPU in QOM. They
should both provide the same CPUID results, but query-host-cpu does not
require any guest CPU to be created by QEMU.
