56540950e7 qemu: command: always use -chardev for monitor config
AFAIK there aren't any cases where we will/should hit the old code
path for our supported qemu versions, so drop the old code.

Massive test suite churn follows

e6e26a899d tests: unify qemu binary paths for all qemu related tests
Our test data used a lot of different qemu binary paths and some
of them were based on downstream systems.

Note that there is one file where I had to add "accel=kvm" because
the qemuargv2xml code parses "/usr/bin/kvm" as virt type="kvm".

9eb9106ea5 qemu: command: Add support for sparse vcpu topologies
Add support for using the new approach to hotplug vcpus using device_add
during startup of qemu to allow sparse vcpu topologies.

There are a few limitations imposed by qemu on the supported
configuration:
- vcpu0 needs to be always present and not hotpluggable
- non-hotpluggable cpus need to be ordered at the beginning
- order of the vcpus needs to be unique for every single hotpluggable
  entity

Qemu also doesn't really allow to query the information necessary to
start a VM with the vcpus directly on the commandline. Fortunately they
can be hotplugged during startup.

The new hotplug code uses the following approach:
- non-hotpluggable vcpus are counted and put to the -smp option
- qemu is started
- qemu is queried for the necessary information
- the configuration is checked
- the hotpluggable vcpus are hotplugged
- vcpus are started

This patch adds a lot of checking code and enables the support to
specify the individual vcpu element with qemu.
