Peter Krempa 9c88a566d8 qemu: capabilities: Explain that QEMU_CAPS_CHARDEV_JSON will be used in tests only
I've added that capability a long time ago when I was converting various
stuff to use JSON but the support in '-chardev' didn't yet materialize.

Fix the comment to make that clear and also that it'll be used in tests
for the upcoming refactor of the chardev code (so that we can validate
generator against the schema even if that doesn't yet work).

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.
