Peter Krempa 917cf3e164 qemu: Always assume support for QEMU_CAPS_CPU_CACHE
All supported qemu versions have this feature and it can't be compiled
out. The logic is a bit more complex in this instance as the flag is
asserted if:

    if (ARCH_IS_X86(qemuCaps->arch) &&
        virQEMUCapsGet(qemuCaps, QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_CPU_MODEL_EXPANSION)) {
        virQEMUCapsSet(qemuCaps, QEMU_CAPS_CPU_CACHE);
    }

Now QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_CPU_MODEL_EXPANSION is available since qemu-2.8 but
only on certain architectures, thus we need to keep the flag itself, but
x86_64 is one of them.

The flag can be also assumed as qemuValidateDomainDefCpu rejects any
cache config on non-x86 arches.

Remove any use of the capability and drop the impossible test cases.

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.
