Daniel Henrique Barboza 63af8fdeb2 qemu: revert latest pSeries NVDIMM design changes
In [1], changes were made to remove the existing auto-alignment
for pSeries NVDIMM devices. That design promotes strange situations
where the NVDIMM size reported in the domain XML is different
from what QEMU is actually using. We removed the auto-alignment
and relied on standard size validation.

However, this goes against Libvirt design philosophy of not
tampering with existing guest behavior, as pointed out by Daniel
in [2]. Since we can't know for sure whether there are guests that
are relying on the auto-alignment feature to work, the changes
made in [1] are a direct violation of this rule.

This patch reverts [1] entirely, re-enabling auto-alignment for
pSeries NVDIMM as it was before. Changes will be made to ease
the limitations of this design without hurting existing
guests.

This reverts the following commits:

- commit 2d93cbdea9d1b8dbf36bc0ffee6cb73d83d208c7
  Revert "formatdomain.html.in: mention pSeries NVDIMM 'align down' mechanic"

- commit 0ee56369c8b4f2f898b6aa1ff1f51ab033be1c02
  qemu_domain.c: change qemuDomainMemoryDeviceAlignSize() return type

- commit 07de813924caf37e535855541c0c1183d9d382e2
  qemu_domain.c: do not auto-align ppc64 NVDIMMs

- commit 0ccceaa57c50e5ee528f7073fa8723afd62b88b7
  qemu_validate.c: add pSeries NVDIMM size alignment validation

- commit 4fa2202d884414ad34d9952e72fb39b1d93c7e14
  qemu_domain.c: make qemuDomainGetMemorySizeAlignment() public
