target-i386: Remove underscores from feat_names arrays
commit 54b8dc7c19cd781e96f1e9b001ca6001d804eb19

target-i386: Register aliases for feature names with underscores
Libvirt names use underscores so we conditionally tranlate the
names when talking to new QEMU. Since the min QEMU was raised to
version 2.11.0, all QEMU versions we talk to expect hypens, so
the translation can be done unconditionally.

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.
