When a hypervisor marks a CPU model as unusable on the current host, it
may also give us a list of features which prevent the model from being
usable. Storing this list in virDomainCapsCPUModel will help the CPU
driver with creating a host-model CPU configuration.

"host" CPU model is supported by a special host-passthrough CPU mode and
users is not allowed to specify this model directly with custom mode.
Thus we should not advertise "host" CPU model in domain capabilities.
This worked well on architectures for which libvirt provides a list of
supported CPU models in cpu_map.xml (since "host" is not in the list).
But we need to explicitly filter "host" model out for all other
architectures.

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.

Commit 5ed235c6 added unnecessary redifinition of
virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev in conf/domain_capabilities.h. This breaks
build with clang 3.4:
In file included from conf/domain_capabilities.c:25:
conf/domain_capabilities.h:88:44: error: redefinition of typedef
'virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev' is a C11 feature
[-Werror,-Wtypedef-redefinition]
typedef struct _virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev;
^
conf/domain_capabilities.h:86:44: note: previous definition is here
typedef struct _virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev virDomainCapsDeviceHostdev;
So drop one of those.
Requires adding the plumbing for <device><video>
The value is <enum name='modelType'> to match the associated domain
XML of <video><model type='XXX'/>
Wire it up for qemu too
The struct contains a single boolean field, 'supported':
the meaning of this field is too generic to be limited to
devices only, and in fact it's already being used for
other things like loaders and OSs.
Instead of trying to come up with a more generic name just
get rid of the struct altogether.
Check to see if the UEFI binary mentioned in qemu.conf actually
exists, and if so expose it in domcapabilities like
<loader ...>
<value>/path/to/ovmf</value>
</loader>
We introduce some generic domcaps infrastructure for handling
a dynamic list of string values, it may be of use for future bits.

As of 542899168c we learned libvirt to use UEFI for domains.
However, management applications may firstly query if libvirt
supports it. And this is where virConnectGetDomainCapabilities()
API comes handy.

This new module holds and formats capabilities for emulator. If you
are about to create a new domain, you may want to know what is the
host or hypervisor capable of. To make sure we don't regress on the
XML, the formatting is not something left for each driver to
implement, rather there's general format function.
The domain capabilities is a lockable object (even though the locking
is not necessary yet) which uses reference counter.
