The previous approac of just purging the alias combined with the fact
that we filled in fake machine types in the test data meant that if a
test case used an alias machine type such as 'pc' or 'q35' it would not
properly resolve to the actual data returned by qemu.
This started to be a problem since the CPU driver now looks at the
default CPU reported with the machine type.
This patch replaces the original approach of just removing the alias by
replacing it with a copy of the machine type data which the type would
alias to. This means that we are using the real data while we don't
modify the test output after every qemu upgrade.
Additionally this change will allow us to drop adding the fake machine
types later.
The test fallout is from actually excercising the CPU driver with
actual data.

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.

To allow using -blockdev with blockjobs QEMU needs to reopen files in
read-write mode when modifying the backing chain. To achieve this we
need to use 'auto-read-only' for the backing files rather than the
normal 'read-only' property. That way qemu knows that the files need to
be reopened.
Note that the format drivers (e.g. qcow2) are still opened with the
read-only property enabled when being a member of the backing chain
since they are supposed to be immutable unless a block job is started.
QEMU v4.0 (since commit 23dece19da4) allows also dynamic behaviour for
auto-read-only which allows us to use sVirt as we only grant write
permissions to files when doing a blockjob.

Show that the capability tweaking stuff works by enabling blockdev in
the 'qemu-ns' test even in versions where it's not yet fully supported.

Use the DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST/VER infrastructure to run a more modern
version of this and also fork it to a pre-blockdev version so that we
can check the qemu namespace capability tweaking.
