d20ebdda28 qemu: Switch to -accel
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.

0ae3e1313f qemu: Always assume presence of QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_SECRET
The secret object is supported since qemu-2.6 and can't be compiled out.
Assume the presence to simplify the code.

This enables the use of the secret key for most tests not using real
caps.

Added by c8a6ae8bb9 in qemu-v1.5.0 and can't be compiled out. Assume
that it's present and fix all fake-caps tests.

c7a85b5b77 qemu: command: Always assume support for '-msg timestamp=on'
All supported QEMU versions have this option so there's no need for us
to base it on the capability.

All QEMU versions we support have these and it's very unlikely that they
will be removed. Remove the capability checks.

0046e0b1c2 qemuxml2argvtest: Use internal wrapping of command line arguments
virCommandToString has the possibility to return an already wrapped
string with better format than what we get from the test wrapper script.

The main advantage is that arguments for an option are always on the
same line which makes it more easy to see what changed in a diff and
prevents re-wrapping of the line if a wrapping point moves over the
threshold.

Additionally the used output is the same we have in the VM log file when
a VM is starting.

8851d87556 qemu: use on|off instead of yes|no for -object boolean properties
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.

43c9c0859f qemu: use long on|off syntax for -chardev boolean option values
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.

167b5fd6a8 qemu_domain.c: post parse pSeries NVDIMM align with PARSE_ABI_UPDATE
A previous patch removed the pSeries NVDIMM align that wasn't
being done properly. This patch reintroduces it in the right
fashion, making it reliant on VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_ABI_UPDATE.
This makes it complying with the intended design defined by
commit c7d7ba85a6.

Since the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE is more restrictive than checking for
!migrate && !snapshot, like is being currently done with
qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes(), this means that we'll align the
pSeries NVDIMMs in two places - in post parse time for new
guests, and in qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes() for all guests
that aren't migrating or in a snapshot.

Another difference is that the logic is now in the QEMU driver
instead of domain_conf.c. This was necessary because all
considerations made about the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE flag were done
under QEMU. Given that no other driver supports ppc64 there is no
impact in this change.

A new test was added to exercise what we're doing. It consists
of a a copy of the existing 'memory-hotplug-nvdimm-ppc64' xml2xml
test, called with the PARSE_ABI_UPDATE flag. As intended, we're
not changing QEMU command line or any XML without the flag,
while the pseries NVDIMM memory is being aligned when the
flag is used.
