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.

'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON
as the argument. Convert our code to use it directly.
The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.

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.

The test case doesn't really test anything about the specific CPU. Using
a host-model cpu with DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST results in commandline changes
every time qemu updates the cpu definiton.

Add test data based on qemu commit v6.0.0-540-g6005ee07c3.
Notable changes are the removal of 'sheepdog' disk storage protocol.
Additionally the cpu model reported when probing seems to have changed
from:
"model-id": "AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor "
to:
"model-id": "QEMU TCG CPU version 2.5+"
despite building on the same machine. This probably also results in the
2 test changes in the CPU definition which popped up in this update.

virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.
The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.
Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

The -audiodev argument is replacing the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable (and
its relations).
Sadly we still have to use the SDL_AUDIODRIVER env variable because that
wasn't mapped into QAPI schema.

QEMU has long accepted many different values for boolean properties, but
set accepted has been different depending on which QEMU parser you hit.
The on|off values were supported by all QEMU parsers. The yes|no, y|n,
true|false values were only partially supported:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-11/msg01012.html
Thus we should standardize on on|off everywhere since that is most
widely supported in QEMU.

The preferred syntax for boolean options is to set the value "on" or
"off". QEMU 7.1.0 will deprecate the short format we currently use.
The long format has been supported with -chardev since at least 1.5.3,
so we don't need to check for it.

In commit 88957116c9 I've adapted
libvirt to QEMU's deprecation of -mem-path and -mem-prealloc and
switched to memory-backend-* even for system memory. My claim was
that that's what QEMU does under the hood anyway. And indeed it
was: see QEMU commit 900c0ba373aada4c13d47d95330aa72ec4067ba5 and
look at function create_default_memdev().
However, then commit d96c4d5f193e0e45beec80a6277728b32875bddb was
merged into QEMU. While it was fixing a bug, it also changed the
create_default_memdev() function in which it started turning off
use of canonical path (by setting
"x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" attribute to false). This
wasn't documented until QEMU commit
8db0b20415c129cf5e577a593a4a0372d90b7cc9. The path affects
migration - the same path has to be used on the source and on the
destination. Therefore, if there is old guest started with '-m X'
it has "pc.ram" block which doesn't use canonical path and thus
when migrating to newer QEMU which uses memory-backend-* we have
to turn off the canonical path explicitly. Otherwise,
"/objects/pc.ram" path would be expected by QEMU which doesn't
match the source.
Ideally, we would need to set it only for some machine types
(4.0 and older) because newer machine types already do what we
are doing. However, we treat machine types as opaque strings and
therefore we don't want to parse nor inspect their versions. But
then again, newer machine types already do what we are doing in
this commit, so when old machine types are deprecated and removed
we can remove our hack and forget it ever happened.

In v6.8.0-27-g88957116c9 and friends I've switched the way the
default RAM is specified for QEMU (from plain -m to
memory-backend-*). This means, that even if a guest doesn't have
any NUMA nodes configured we can use memory-backend-* attributes
to translate user config requests. For instance, we can allow
memory to be shared (<access mode='shared'/> under
<memoryBacking/>). But what my original commits are missing is
allowing such configuration in our validator.
