Peter Krempa 0e3f42b834 qemucapabilitiestest: Update latest caps to 'v7.0.0-1512-gca127b3fc2'
Notable changes:

 - Icelake-Client cpu model family removed:
     "Icelake-Client-noTSX-x86_64-cpu"
     "Icelake-Client-v1-x86_64-cpu"
     "Icelake-Client-v2-x86_64-cpu"
     "Icelake-Client-v3-x86_64-cpu"
     "Icelake-Client-x86_64-cpu"

 - 'zero-copy-send' migration feature added

 - display 'sdl' qapified

 - 'arch-lbr' cpu feature added

 - new HyperV enlightenments:
     'hv-tlbflush-ext'
     'hv-tlbflush-direct'
     'hv-emsr-bitmap'
     'hv-xmm-input'

 - 'none-machine' has two new properties:
     - "boot" described as "Boot configuration"
     - "memory" described as "Memory size configuration"

 - 'igd-passthrough-isa-bridge' is now Xen-only

 - CXL: Compute eXpress Link related devices:
      "CXL"
      "cxl-rp",
      "cxl-type3",
      "pxb-cxl",
      "pxb-cxl-bus",
      "pxb-cxl-host",

 - 'dma-translation' feature of 'intel-iommu'

 - 'vmcb-clean' cpu feature now migratable:
     - possibly due to host kernel upgrade
     - changes commandline generated for the 'cpu-host-model' case of
       qemuxml2argvtest

Libvirt API for virtualization

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
