1a691fe1c8 qemu: capabilities: Re-enable JSON syntax for -device
Now that qemu fixed device unplug when JSON syntax is used with -device
we can re-enable the feature.

Since the old capability string representation is condemned by
suggesting filtering it as a workaround we must introduce a new string.
To achieve this the original capability position is renamed to
X_QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON_BROKEN_HOTPLUG and a new position with the
original name QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON is introduced to prevent us having
to change the rest of the code.

bd3d00babc qemu: Revert to using non-JSON commandline for -device
When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.

Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.

This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.

For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':

   capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:

   <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
     [...]
     <qemu:capabilities>
       <qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
     </qemu:capabilities>
   </domain>

We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.

c9880b647b qemuxml2argvdata: Use proper arch and emulator for x86 real capability tests
Upcoming patches will modify how we populate the capability cache in
tests to be more saner. This also means that the emulator binary and
architecture used in the test files using real capabilities must match
what the real capabilities have.

d20ebdda28 qemu: Switch to -accel
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.

279c64dccb qemu: command: Use JSON for parameters of -audiodev
'-audiodev' as a modern implementation based on QAPI already takes JSON
as the argument. Convert our code to use it directly.

The declaration of the QAPI types can be found in
'qemu.git/qapi/audio.json'.

c9b13e0557 qemu: Use JSON directly for '-device'
Starting with QEMU-6.2 started accepting a JSON object as argument for
'-device' which will also become the only syntax considered stable by
qemu in the future.

Since libvirt was recently converted to generate the properties via JSON
to begin wit we can start using it on the commandline as well, by simply
enabling the QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_JSON capability, which we do by probing
for the 'json-cli' feature flag of 'device_add'.

Normally a change which changes a commandline output should be happening
only after the impacted real-caps test files are forked in the version
preceding the change, but in this case it's not necessary as the logic
for generating the device properties stays identical and we just change
the output format (avoid conversion). Additionally we still have a lot
of tests validating the conversion to the old commandline options.

dc481f11a6 qemuBuildDiskCommandLine: Generate via JSON
The types for the special fields of the 'virtio-blk-pci' according to
QEMU are:
  iothread=<link<iothread>>
  ioeventfd=<bool>       - on/off (default: true)
  event_idx=<bool>       - on/off (default: true)
  scsi=<bool>            - on/off (default: false)
  num-queues=<uint16>    -  (default: 65535)
  queue-size=<uint16>    -  (default: 256)

For all disks we also use the following properties (based on 'scsi-hd'):
  device_id=<str>
  share-rw=<bool>        -  (default: false)
  drive=<str>            - Node name or ID of a block device to use as a backend
  chardev=<str>          - ID of a chardev to use as a backend  <-  vhost-user-blk-pci
  bootindex=<int32>
  logical_block_size=<size> - A power of two between 512 B and 2 MiB (default: 0)
  physical_block_size=<size> - A power of two between 512 B and 2 MiB (default: 0)
  wwn=<uint64>           -  (default: 0)
  rotation_rate=<uint16> -  (default: 0)
  vendor=<str>
  product=<str>
  removable=<bool>       - on/off (default: false)
  write-cache=<OnOffAuto> - on/off/auto (default: "auto")
  cyls=<uint32>          -  (default: 0)
  heads=<uint32>         -  (default: 0)
  secs=<uint32>          -  (default: 0)
  bios-chs-trans=<BiosAtaTranslation> - Logical CHS translation algorithm, auto/none/lba/large/rechs (default: "auto") <- ide-hd
  serial=<str>
  werror=<BlockdevOnError> - Error handling policy, report/ignore/enospc/stop/auto (default: "auto")
  rerror=<BlockdevOnError> - Error handling policy, report/ignore/enospc/stop/auto (default: "auto")

The 'wwn' field is changed from a hex string to a number since qemu
actually treats it as a number.
