tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
Long lines are harder to read and harder to diff; in fact, if lines get
too long (> 1000 bytes), it starts causing issues where git send-email
refuses to send patches for the file. I've cleaned up the tests
directory in the past (see commits bd6c46f, 3b750d1), but new long
lines have been introduced in the meantime.
Why 90 instead of 80? Because there were too many tests on the fringe
edge, and I didn't want to edit that many files.
Add a syntax check to prevent future long lines.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_long_lines): New rule.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*.args: Split lines of any
file with content longer than 90 columns.
* tests/storagevolxml2argvdata/*.argv: Likewise.

Several tests assume that VNC is always available and include it in
their configs and the expected command line. The tests have nothing to
do with graphics display so they shouldn't rely on VNC.
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter
*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.
Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
