We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.
The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

target-i386: Remove underscores from feat_names arrays

target-i386: Register aliases for feature names with underscores
Libvirt names use underscores so we conditionally tranlate the
names when talking to new QEMU. Since the min QEMU was raised to
version 2.11.0, all QEMU versions we talk to expect hypens, so
the translation can be done unconditionally.

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.

This should cover all CPU features for which QEMU prefers spelling that
differs from the one used by libvirt.
