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.

Internally format the PCI controller properties into JSON, but convert
it back to a string so that we for now change just the SCSI controller.
The change in tests is expected as the 'port' field for various PCI
controllers is expected to be a number and thus can't be represented as
a hexadecimal value in JSON.
QEMU expects the following types:
'pci-bridge'
chassis_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pxb-pcie':
bus_nr=<uint8> - (default: 0)
'pcie-root-port'
port=<uint8> - (default: 0)
chassis=<uint8> - (default: 0)
hotplug=<bool> - (default: true)

This one will be slightly unstable given that CPU features are being
modified frequently in qemu especially when used with a modern cpu.
