Kamil Szczęk 9eb3c28323 qemu_capabilities: Introduce QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_I8042_OPT
This capability tells us whether given QEMU binary supports the
'-machine xxx,i8042=on/off' toggle used to enable/disable PS/2
controller emulation.

A few facts:
- This option was introduced in QEMU 7.0 and defaults to 'on'
- QEMU versions before 7.0 enabled i8042 controller emulation implicitly
- This option (and i8042 controller emulation itself) is only supported
by descendants of the generic PC machine type (e.g. i440fx, q35, etc.)

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.
