When computing a baseline CPU for a specific hypervisor we have to make
sure to include only CPU features supported by the hypervisor. Otherwise
the computed CPU could not be used for starting a new domain.

When specifying a new CPU model in cpu_map.xml as an extension to an
existing model, we forgot to copy the signature (family + model) from
the original CPU model.
We don't use this way of specifying CPU models, but it's still supported
and it becomes useful when someone wants to quickly hack up a CPU model
for testing or when creating additional variants of existing models to
help with fixing some spectral issues.

A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; an example
from the past was the update that disabled TSX on several Haswell and
Broadwell machines.
In order to track the x86 microcode version in the QEMU capabilities,
we have to fetch it and store it in the host CPU. This also makes the
version visible in "virsh capabilities", which is a nice side effect.

Right-aligning backslashes when defining macros or using complex
commands in Makefiles looks cute, but as soon as any changes is
required to the code you end up with either distractingly broken
alignment or unnecessarily big diffs where most of the changes
are just pushing all backslashes a few characters to one side.

Even though only family and model are used for matching CPUID data with
CPU models from cpu_map.xml, stepping is used by x86DataFilterTSX which
is supposed to disable TSX on CPU models with broken TSX support. Thus
we need to start parsing stepping from QEMU to make sure we don't
disable TSX on CPUs which provide working TSX implementation. See the
following patch for a real world example of such CPU.

When decoding CPUID data to virCPUDef we need to be careful about using
a CPU model which cannot be directly used on the current host. Normally,
libvirt would notice the features which prevent the model from being
usable and it would disable them in the computed virCPUDef, but this
won't work in case the definition of the CPU model in QEMU contains more
features than what we have in cpu_map.xml. We need to count with the
usability blockers we got from QEMU and explicitly disable all of them
to make the computed virCPUDef usable.

This new internal API makes a copy of virCPUDef while removing all
features which would block migration. It uses cpu_map.xml as a database
of such features, which should only be used as a fallback when we cannot
get the data from a hypervisor. The main goal of this API is to decouple
this filtering from virCPUUpdate so that the hypervisor driver can
filter the features according to the hypervisor.

cpuBaseline is responsible for computing a baseline CPU while feature
expansion is done by virCPUExpandFeatures. The cpuBaselineXML wrapper
(used by hypervisor drivers to implement virConnectBaselineCPU API)
calls cpuBaseline followed by virCPUExpandFeatures if requested by
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES flag.
The features in the three changed test files had to be sorted using
"sort -k 3" because virCPUExpandFeatures returns a sorted list of
features.

Having to use cpuBaseline with VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES
flag to expand CPU features is strange. Not to mention that cpuBaseline
can only expand host CPU definitions (i.e., it completely ignores

When starting a domain with custom guest CPU specification QEMU may add
or remove some CPU features. There are several reasons for this, e.g.,
QEMU/KVM does not support some requested features or the definition of
the requested CPU model in libvirt's cpu_map.xml differs from the one
QEMU is using. We can't really avoid this because CPU models are allowed
to change with machine types and libvirt doesn't know (and probably
doesn't even want to know) about such changes.
Thus when we want to make sure guest ABI doesn't change when a domain
gets migrated to another host, we need to update our live CPU definition
according to the CPU QEMU created. Once updated, we will change CPU
checking to VIR_CPU_CHECK_FULL to make sure the virtual CPU created
after migration exactly matches the one on the source.

Guest CPU definitions with mode='custom' and missing <vendor> are
