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.

All three memory backends (-file, -ram and -memfd) have .prealloc
attribute. Since we are setting it only for -file, the
corresponding code lives only under if() that handles that
specific backend. But in near future we will want to set the
attribute for other backends too. Therefore, move the
corresponding code outside of the if().
This causes some .argv files to be changed, but the only change
happening there is move of the attribute (best viewed with:
'git show --color-words=.').

The 32-bit x86 binary is called qemu-system-i386, not
qemu-system-i686. This mistake across many test XML files was
not noticed because the mistake was also made in testutilsqemu.c
when mocking the capabilities.

The '-realtime mlock' cmd line argument was introduced in QEMU
commit v1.5.0-rc0~190 which matches minimal QEMU version we
require. Therefore, the capability will always be present.
Apparently, nearly none of our xml2argv test cases had the
capability hence slightly bigger change under qemuxml2argvdata/.

By default, qemu user's home dir points to '/' which shouldn't be used
at all. We therefore pass the HOME variable from the current variable
iff not running as SUID, which means that for systemd we never set it.
This patch makes sure, that for system QEMU this is always set to
libDir/<driver>, session mode is left untouched.

For session mode, only XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, because we want to remain
integrating with services in user session, but for system mode, this
would have become reading/writing to '/' which carries the obvious issue
with permissions (also, '/' is the wrong location in 99.9% cases anyway).
