96fddee322 qemu: add "-boot strict" to commandline whenever possible
This resolves:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888635

(which was already closed as CANTFIX because the qemu "-boot strict"
commandline option wasn't available at the time).

Problem: you couldn't have a domain that used PXE to boot, but also
had an un-bootable disk device *even if that disk wasn't listed in the
boot order*, because if PXE timed out (e.g. due to the bridge
forwarding delay), the BIOS would move on to the next target, which
would be the unbootable disk device (again - even though it wasn't
given a boot order), and get stuck at a "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PRESS ANY
KEY" message until a user intervened.

The solution available since sometime around QEMU 1.5, is to add
"-boot strict=on" to *every* qemu command. When this is done, if any
devices have a boot order specified, then QEMU will *only* attempt to
boot from those devices that have an explicit boot order, ignoring the
rest.

1569fa14d8 qemu: don't use deprecated -no-kvm-pit-reinjection
Since qemu-kvm 1.1 [1] (since 1.3. in upstream QEMU [2])
'-no-kvm-pit-reinjection' has been deprecated.
Use -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard instead.

63857eb4a0 tests: Introduce qemucapabilitiestest
This test is there to ensure that our capabilities detection code isn't
broken somehow.

How to gather test data:

Firstly, the data is split into two separate files. The former (with
suffix .replies) contains all the qemu replies. This is very fragile as
introducing a new device can mean yet another monitor command and hence
edit of this file in the future. But there's no better way of doing
this. To get this data simply turn on debug logs and copy all the
QEMU_MONITOR_IO_PROCESS lines. But be careful to not copy incomplete
ones (yeah, we report some incomplete lines too). Long story short, at
the libvirtd startup, a dummy qemu is spawn to get all the capabilities.

The latter (with suffix .caps) contains capabilities XML. Just start a
domain and copy the corresponding part from its state XML file.
Including <qemuCaps> tag.
