qemu: Fix probing for guest capabilities
Even though qemu-kvm binaries can be used in TCG mode, libvirt would only detect them if /dev/kvm was available. Thus, one would need to make a /usr/bin/qemu symlink to be able to use TCG mode with qemu-kvm in an environment without KVM support. And even though QEMU is able to make use of KVM, libvirt would not advertise KVM support unless there was a qemu-kvm symlink available. This patch fixes both issues.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
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.
