Specify the memory size by using '-m size=2048k' instead of just '-m 2'.
The new syntax is used when memory hotplug is enabled. To preserve
memory sizing, if memory hotplug is disabled the size is rounded down to
the nearest mebibyte.

These are allegedly necessary to keep the output consistent,
but now that we're using a privileged config for the driver we
get the desired behavior out of the box, and as a bonus the
paths match what you would actually see on a regular host.

QEMU deprecated the '-no-acpi' option, thus we should switch to the
modern way to use '-machine'.
Certain ARM machine types don't support ACPI. Given our historically
broken design of using '<acpi/>' without attribute to enable ACPI and
qemu's default of enabling it without '-no-acpi' such configurations
would not work.
Now when qemu reports whether given machine type supports ACPI we can do
a better decision and un-break those configs. Unfortunately not
retroactively.

Now that qemu fixed device unplug when JSON syntax is used with -device
we can re-enable the feature.
Since the old capability string representation is condemned by
suggesting filtering it as a workaround we must introduce a new string.
To achieve this the original capability position is renamed to
X_QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON_BROKEN_HOTPLUG and a new position with the
original name QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON is introduced to prevent us having
to change the rest of the code.

When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.
Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.
This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.
For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':
capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]
- filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:
<domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
[...]
<qemu:capabilities>
<qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
</qemu:capabilities>
</domain>
We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.

We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.
The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

Starting with QEMU-6.2 started accepting a JSON object as argument for
'-device' which will also become the only syntax considered stable by
qemu in the future.
Since libvirt was recently converted to generate the properties via JSON
to begin wit we can start using it on the commandline as well, by simply
enabling the QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON capability, which we do by probing
for the 'json-cli' feature flag of 'device_add'.
Normally a change which changes a commandline output should be happening
only after the impacted real-caps test files are forked in the version
preceding the change, but in this case it's not necessary as the logic
for generating the device properties stays identical and we just change
the output format (avoid conversion). Additionally we still have a lot
of tests validating the conversion to the old commandline options.

Internally format the PCI controller properties into JSON, but convert
it back to a string so that we for now change just the SCSI controller.
The change in tests is expected as the 'port' field for various PCI
controllers is expected to be a number and thus can't be represented as
a hexadecimal value in JSON.
QEMU expects the following types:
'pci-bridge'
chassis_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pxb-pcie':
bus_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pcie-root-port'
