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.

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.

The '-realtime mlock' cmd line argument was introduced in QEMU
commit v1.5.0-rc0~190 which matches minimal QEMU version we
require. Therefore, the capability will always be present.
Apparently, nearly none of our xml2argv test cases had the
capability hence slightly bigger change under qemuxml2argvdata/.

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).

There are two ways to request memory preallocation on cmd line:
-mem-prealloc and .prealloc attribute for a memory-backend-file.
However, as it turns out it's not safe to use both at the same
time. If -mem-prealloc is used then qemu will fully allocate the
memory (this is done by actually touching every page that has
been allocated). Then, if .prealloc=yes is specified,
mbind(flags = MPOL_MF_STRICT | MPOL_MF_MOVE) is called which:
a) has to (possibly) move the memory to a different NUMA node,
b) can have no effect when hugepages are in play (thus ignoring user
request to place memory on desired NUMA nodes).
Prefer -mem-prealloc as it is more backward compatible
compared to switching to "-numa node,memdev= + -object
memory-backend-file".
