Historically the virtio-blk frontend by default enabled SCSI emulation
and tried to do SCSI command passthrough. As this was enabled by default
there's a fallback mechanism in place in cases when the backend doesn't
support SCSI for any reason.
This is not the case when disk type=lun is used with 'scsi-block' via
'virtio-scsi'.
We did not restrict configurations when the user picks 'qcow2' or any
other format as format of the disk, in which case the emulation is
disabled as such configuration doesn't make sense.
This patch unifies the approach so that 'raw' is required both when used
via 'virtio-blk' and 'virtio-scsi' so that the user is presented with
the expected configuration. Note that use of <disk type='lun'> is
already very restrictive as it requires a block device or iSCSI storage.
Additionally the scsi emulation is now deprecated by qemu with
virtio-blk as it conflicts with virtio-1 and the alternative is to use
'virtio-scsi' which performs better and is along for a very long time.

None of the tests depend on anything that the machine type would
influence. This will allow us to drop the very old machine type from the
non-real-data tests. If something depends on the machine type it should
be tested with real data rather than this hack.

These XMLs live in a separate directory, there's no need for them
to have a special prefix in addition. It also doesn't play nicely
with ':e' completion in Vim, finding proper file based on
qemuxml2argvtest.c is also needlessly complicated.
The files were renamed using the following commands. From
qemuxml2argvdata:
for i in qemuxml2argv-*.xml; do mv $i ${i#qemuxml2argv-}; done
and then (to fix broken symlinks) from qemuxml2argvdata and
qemuxml2xmloutdata:
for i in $(find . -xtype l); do \
ln -sf $(readlink $i | sed 's/qemuxml2argv-//') $i;
done
