Daniel P. Berrangé a4efca7695 tests: allow setting extra capabilities on top of versioned caps
In the QEMU tests a test can either use an explicitly listed set of
capabilities, or can request those matching a particular QEMU
version. Sometimes it is desirable to be able to list extra caps
on top of those implied by a particular version.

This is useful, for example, when QEMU won't report certain features
unless it was run on particular hardware or kernels, and those were
not used when a caps snapshot was imported to the libvirt source tree.

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.
