This change adds backend qemu command line support for new libvirt
global feature 'acpi-bridge-hotplug'. This option can be used as
following:
<feature>
<pci>
<acpi-bridge-hotplug state='off|on'/>
</pci>
</feature>
The '<pci>' sub-element under '<feature>' is also newly introduced.
'acpi-bridge-hotplug' turns on the following command line option to
qemu for x86 guests:
(pc): -global PIIX4_PM.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=<off|on>
(q35): -global ICH9-LPC.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=<off|on>
This change also adds the required qemuxml2argv unit tests in order to
test correct qemu arguments. Unit tests have also been added to test
qemu capability validation checks as well as checks for using this
option with the right architecture.

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.
