Michal Privoznik 5cba53db57 tests: Drop domcaps test data for qemu < 2.11
The minimal supported version of QEMU is 2.11. And after capabilities
for older QEMUs were dropped in v7.3.0-17-g184de10c1d we have some
domaincapsdata/ files that are never read. This is because
domaincapstest uses testQemuCapsIterate() which iterates over
qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_*.xml files.

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.
