Some qemu arch/machine types have built in platform devices that
are always implicitly available. For platform serial devices, the
current code assumes that only old style -serial config can be
used for these devices.
Apparently though since -chardev was introduced, we can use -chardev
in these cases, like this:
-chardev pty,id=foo
-serial chardev:foo
Since -chardev enables all sorts of modern features, use this method
for platform devices.

AFAIK there aren't any cases where we will/should hit the old code
path for our supported qemu versions, so drop the old code.
Massive test suite churn follows

Our test data used a lot of different qemu binary paths and some
of them were based on downstream systems.
Note that there is one file where I had to add "accel=kvm" because
the qemuargv2xml code parses "/usr/bin/kvm" as virt type="kvm".

The '-usb' option doesn't have any effect for aarch64 mach-virt
guests, so the fact that it's currently enabled by default is not
really causing any issue.
However, that might change in the future (although unlikely), and
having it as part of the QEMU command line can cause confusion to
someone looking through the process list.
Avoid it completely, like it's already happening for q35.
Per-domain directories were introduced in order to be able to
completely separate security labels for each domain (commit
f1f68ca334). However when the domain
name is long (let's say a ridiculous 110 characters), we cannot
connect to the monitor socket because on length of UNIX socket address
is limited. In order to get around this, let's shorten it in similar
fashion and in order to avoid conflicts, throw in an ID there as well.
Also save that into the status XML and load the old status XMLs
properly (to clean up after older domains). That way we can change it
in the future.
The shortening can be seen in qemuxml2argv tests, for example in the
hugepages-pages2 case.

Just recently, qemu forbade specifying format for sourceless
disks (qemu commit 39c4ae941ed992a3bb5). It kind of makes sense.
If there's no file to open, why specify its format. Anyway, I
have a domain like this:
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
and obviously I am unable to start it. Therefore, a fix on our
side is needed too.

As of QEMU 0.10.0 the -drive format= parameter was added,
so the QEMU driver can assume it is always available.

tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

qemu 2.3.0 added the -cpu host,aarch64=off option, which allows using
qemu-system-aarch64 KVM to run armv7l VMs.
Add a capabilities check for it, wire it up in qemu_command, and test
the command line generation.
