The intel-iommu device has existed since QEMU 2.2.0, but
it was only possible to create it with -device since
QEMU 2.7.0, thanks to:

hw/iommu: enable iommu with -device
Use the standard '-device intel-iommu' to create the IOMMU device.
The legacy '-machine,iommu=on' can still be used.
The libvirt capability check & command line formatting code
is thus broken for all QEMU versions 2.2.0 -> 2.6.0 inclusive.
This fixes it to use iommu=on instead.

Check whether the disable-legacy property is present on the following
devices:
virtio-balloon-pci
virtio-blk-pci
virtio-scsi-pci
virtio-serial-pci
virtio-9p-pci
virtio-net-pci
virtio-rng-pci
virtio-gpu-pci
virtio-input-host-pci
virtio-keyboard-pci
virtio-mouse-pci
virtio-tablet-pci
Assuming that if QEMU knows other virtio devices where this property
is applicable, it will have at least one of these devices.

virtio-pci: add flags to enable/disable legacy/modern
Since its release of 2.4.0 qemu is able to enable System
Management Module in the firmware, or disable it. We should
expose this capability in the XML. Unfortunately, there's no good
way to determine whether the binary we are talking to supports
it. I mean, if qemu's run with real machine type, the smm
attribute can be seen in 'qom-list /machine' output. But it's not
there when qemu's run with -M none. Therefore we're stuck with
version based check.

Check whether QEMU supports -device intel-iommu
Note that the presence of this option does not mean that it's
usable because of a bug in earlier QEMU versions, but it's
better than nothing.

The only QEMU versions that don't have such capability are <0.12,
which we no longer support anyway.
Additionally, this solves the issue of some QEMU binaries being
reported as not having such capability just because they lacked
the {kvm-}pci-assign QMP object.
