Previous patch handled the runtime case where a non-x86 host is
fetching /proc/cpuinfo data for a microcode info that we know
it doesn't exist. This change alone speeded everything by a
bit for non-x86, but there is at least one major culprit left.
qemuxml2argvtest does several arch-specific tests, and a good
chunk of them are x86 exclusive. This means that 'hostArch'
will be seen as x86 for these tests, even when running in
non-x86 hosts. In a Power 9 server with 128 CPUs, qemuxml2argvtest
takes 298 seconds to complete in average, and 'perf record'
indicates that 95% of the time is spent in
virHostCPUGetMicrocodeVersion().
This patch mocks virHostCPUGetMicrocodeVersion() to always return
0 in the tests, avoiding /proc/cpuinfo reads. This will make all
tests behave arch-agnostic, and the microcode value being 0 has no
impact on any existing test.
This is a CI speed across the board for all archs, including x86,
given that we're not reading /proc/cpuinfo in the tests. For
a Thinkpad T480 laptop with 8 Intel i7 CPUs, qemuxml2argvtest
went from 15.50 sec to 12.50 seconds. The performance gain is even
more noticeable for huge servers with lots of CPUs. For the
Power 9 server mentioned above, this patch speeds qemuxml2argvtest
to 9 seconds, down from 298 sec.

All of the ones being removed are pulled in by internal.h. The only
exception is sanlock which expects the application to include <stdint.h>
before sanlock's headers, because sanlock prototypes use fixed width
int, but they don't include stdint.h themselves, so we have to leave
that one in place.
