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>

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.

The patch adds <cpu> element to domain capabilities XML:
<cpu>
<mode name='host-passthrough' supported='yes'/>
<mode name='host-model' supported='yes'/>
<mode name='custom' supported='yes'>
<model>Broadwell</model>
<model>Broadwell-noTSX</model>
...
</mode>
</cpu>
Applications can use it to inspect what CPU configuration modes are
supported for a specific combination of domain type, emulator binary,
guest architecture and machine type.
