36785c7e77 device: cleanup input device code
The current code was a little bit odd.  At first we've removed all
possible implicit input devices from domain definition to add them later
back if there was any graphics device defined while parsing XML
description.  That's not all, while formating domain definition to XML
description we at first ignore any input devices with bus different to
USB and VIRTIO and few lines later we add implicit input devices to XML.

This seems to me as a lot of code for nothing.  This patch may look
to be more complicated than original approach, but this is a preferred
way to modify/add driver specific stuff only in those drivers and not
deal with them in common parsing/formating functions.

The update is to add those implicit input devices into config XML to
follow the real HW configuration visible by guest OS.

There was also inconsistence between our behavior and QEMU's in the way,
that in QEMU there is no way how to disable those implicit input devices
for x86 architecture and they are available always, even without graphics
device.  This applies also to XEN hypervisor.  VZ driver already does its
part by putting correct implicit devices into live XML.

72edaae78f qemu: Add support for iothreads
Add a new capability to ensure the iothreads feature exists for the qemu
emulator being run - requires the "query-iothreads" QMP command. Using the
domain XML add correspoding command argument in order to generate the
threads. The iothreads will use a name space "iothread#" where, the
future patch to add support for using an iothread to a disk definition to
merely define which of the available threads to use.

Add tests to ensure the xml/argv processing is correct.  Note that no
change was made to qemuargv2xmltest.c as processing the -object element
would require knowing more than just iothreads.
