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.

f763b6e439 qemu: capabilities: Enable detection of QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_QAPIFIED
Base the detection on the presence of the 'secret' qom-type entry, which
isn't conditionally compiled in qemu.

All caps-based test now switch to using JSON for -object.

d96fb5cb31 qemu: add support for generating -audiodev arguments
The -audiodev argument is replacing the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV env variable (and
its relations).

Sadly we still have to use the SDL_AUDIODRIVER env variable because that
wasn't mapped into QAPI schema.

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.

88957116c9 qemu: Use memory-backend-* for regular guest memory
So far, Libvirt configures memory-backend-* for memory hotplug,
possibly NUMA nodes and in a few other cases. This patch
switches to constructing the memory-backend-* command line for
all cases. To keep ability to migrate guests a little hack is
used: the ID of the object is set to the one that QEMU uses
internally anyways. These IDs are stable (first started to appear
somewhere around v0.13.0-rc0~96) and can't change.

In fact, this patch does exactly what QEMU does internally. The
reason for moving the logic into Libvirt is that QEMU wants to
deprecate the old style of specifying memory.

So far, only x84_64 test cases are changed, because tests for
other architectures use older capabilities, which still lack the
QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_MEMORY_BACKEND capability and they don't report
the RAM ID.

c6a9e54ce3 qemu: enable blockdev support
Now that all pieces are in place (hopefully) let's enable -blockdev.

We base the capability on presence of the fix for 'auto-read-only' on
files so that blockdev works properly, mandate that qemu supports
explicit SCSI id strings to avoid ABI regression and that the fix for
'savevm' is present so that internal snapshots work.

5e939cea89 qemu: Store default CPU in domain XML
When starting a domain without a CPU model specified in the domain XML,
QEMU will choose a default one. Which is fine unless the domain gets
migrated to another host because libvirt doesn't perform any CPU ABI
checks and the virtual CPU provided by QEMU on the destination host can
differ from the one on the source host.

With QEMU 4.2.0 we can probe for the default CPU model used by QEMU for
a particular machine type and store it in the domain XML. This way the
chosen CPU model is more visible to users and libvirt will make sure
the guest will see the exact same CPU after migration.

Architecture specific notes
- aarch64: We only set the default CPU for TCG domains as KVM requires
  explicit "-cpu host" to work.

- ppc64: The default CPU for KVM is "host" thanks to some hacks in QEMU,
  we will translate the default model to the model corresponding to the
  host CPU ("POWER8" on a Power8 host, "POWER9" on Power9 host, etc.).
  This is not a problem as the corresponding CPU model is in fact an
  alias for "host". This is probably not ideal, but it's not wrong and
  the default virtual CPU configured by libvirt is the same QEMU would
  use. TCG uses various CPU models depending on machine type and its
  version.

- s390x: The default CPU for KVM is "host" while TCG defaults to "qemu".

- x86_64: The default CPU model (qemu64) is not runnable on any host
  with KVM, but QEMU just disables unavailable features and starts
  happily.

75a9169881 qemu: command: Override HOME variable for system QEMU
By default, qemu user's home dir points to '/' which shouldn't be used
at all. We therefore pass the HOME variable from the current variable
iff not running as SUID, which means that for systemd we never set it.
This patch makes sure, that for system QEMU this is always set to
libDir/<driver>, session mode is left untouched.

For session mode, only XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, because we want to remain
integrating with services in user session, but for system mode, this
would have become reading/writing to '/' which carries the obvious issue
with permissions (also, '/' is the wrong location in 99.9% cases anyway).

b8936d2655 qemu: command: Don't format -device isa-fdc,... twice with two floppy drives
Fix regression introduced in <42fd5a58adb>. With q35 machine type which
requires the explicitly specified FDC we'd format twoisa-fdc
controllers to the command line as the code was moved to a place where
it's called per-disk.

Move the call back after formatting all disks and reiterate the disks to
find the floppy controllers.

This also moves the '-global' directive which sets up the default
ISA-FDC to the end after all the disks but since we are modifying the
properties it is safe to do so.

to test that both drives are supported and also multiple machine
versions as we generate the commandline differently.

Note that both output files show wrong command line which will be fixed
subsequently.
