Both cpuCompare* APIs are renamed to virCPUCompare*. And they should now
work for any guest CPU definition, i.e., even for host-passthrough
(trivial) and host-model CPUs. The implementation in x86 driver is
enhanced to provide a hint about -noTSX Broadwell and Haswell models
when appropriate.

The function is similar to virCPUDataCheckFeature, but it works directly
on CPU definition rather than requiring it to be transformed into CPU
data first.

The API is supposed to make sure the provided CPU definition does not
use a CPU model which is not supported by the hypervisor (if at all
possible, of course).

Keeping nfeatures_max set to 0 while nfeatures > 0 and some features are
already stored in features array is just asking for problems once we
want to add a new feature into the array.

The reworked API is now called virCPUUpdate and it should change the
provided CPU definition into a one which can be consumed by the QEMU
command line builder:
- host-passthrough remains unchanged
- host-model is turned into custom CPU with a model and features
copied from host
- custom CPU with minimum match is converted similarly to host-model
- optional features are updated according to host's CPU

x86ModelFromCPU is used to provide CPUID data for features matching
@policy. This patch allows callers to set @policy to -1 to get combined
CPUID for all CPU features (including those implicitly provided a CPU
model) specified in CPU def.

The domain capabilities XML is capable of showing whether each guest CPU
mode is supported or not with a possibility to provide additional
details. This patch enhances host-model capability to advertise the
exact CPU model which will be used as a host-model:
<cpu>
...
<mode name='host-model' supported='yes'>
<model fallback='allow'>Broadwell</model>
<vendor>Intel</vendor>
<feature policy='disable' name='aes'/>
<feature policy='require' name='vmx'/>
</mode>
...
</cpu>

The ARM CPU driver wrongly reported host CPU model as "host", which made
host-model to be just an alias for host-passthrough. Let's drop this
insanity.

Host capabilities provide libvirt's view of the host CPU, but for a
useful support for host-model CPUs we really need a hypervisor's view of
the CPU. And since the view can be differ with emulator, qemu
capabilities is the best place to store the host CPU model.
This patch just copies the CPU model from host capabilities, but this
will change in the future.

The function filters all CPU features through a given callback while
copying CPU model related parts of a CPU definition.

The function moves CPU model related parts from one CPU definition to
another. It can be used to avoid unnecessary copies from a temporary CPU
definitions which will be freed anyway.

In case a hypervisor is able to tell us a list of supported CPU models
and whether each CPU models can be used on the current host, we can
propagate this to domain capabilities. This is a better alternative
to calling virConnectCompareCPU for each supported CPU model.

Listing all CPU models supported by QEMU in domain capabilities makes
little sense when libvirt will refuse any model it doesn't know about.

Some CPU drivers (such as arm) do not provide list of CPUs libvirt
supports and just pass any CPU model from domain XML directly to QEMU.
Such driver need to return models == NULL and success from cpuGetModels.

The x86 CPU driver translated each CPU definition from domain XML into
CPUID data and then back to CPU definition. This effectively sorted the
list of CPU features according to their CPUID values. Since this is
going to change, we need to reorder CPU features in a few test files to
make sure the generated QEMU command lines will not change.

Testing PPC64/AArch64 KVM domains on x86_64 host only works because we
have a lot of bugs in our code. Since this series is going to fix them,
we need to make sure the host architecture matches guest for KVM
domains.

Adding x86 CPU models into a list of supported CPUs for non-x86
architectures is not a very good idea. Each architecture we test needs
to maintain its own list of supported CPU models.

Changing a host architecture or a CPU is not as easy as assigning a new
value to the appropriate element in virCaps since there is a relation
between the CPU and host architecture (we don't really want to test
anything on an AArch64 host with core2duo CPU). This patch introduces
qemuTestSetHostArch and qemuTestSetHostCPU helpers which will make sure
the host architecture matches the host CPU.

supported for a specific combination of domain type, emulator binary,
guest architecture and machine type.
