Collin Walling 51c098347d qemu_capabilities: query deprecated features for host-model
Add QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_CPU_MODEL_EXPANSION_DEPRECATED_PROPS for detecting
if query-cpu-model-expansion can report deprecated CPU model properties.
QEMU introduced this capability in 9.1 release.  Add flag and deprecated
features to the capabilities test data for QEMU 9.1 and 9.2 replies/XML
since it can now be accounted for.

When probing for the host CPU, perform a full CPU model expansion to
retrieve the list of features deprecated across the entire architecture.
The list and count are stored in the host's CPU model info within the
QEMU capabilities.  Other info resulting from this query (e.g. model
name, etc) is ignored.

The new capabilities flag is used to fence off the extra query for
architectures/QEMU binaries that do not report deprecated CPU model
features.

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.
