Andrea Bolognani 886654c3e6 tests: Add minimal cases for many architectures
We currently have a single test case called "minimal", which
suffers from two big flaws:

  * it's limited to the x86_64/pc machine type;
  * it explicitly enables a number of devices.

Add several test cases, one for each of the architectures and
machine types that we have good support for.

Unlike the existing one, they're *really* minimal: no devices
or controllers at all are present in the input XML. So the new
test cases demonstrate exactly what devices and controller
libvirt will decide to add automatically.

Note that we want both regular and ABI_UPDATE variants of the
various test cases because, in some cases, the behavior for new
guests is not the same as that for existing ones due to backward
compatibility concerns.

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.
