Some architectures (S390) depend on QEMU to compute baseline CPU model and
expand a models feature set.

Interacting with QEMU requires starting the QEMU process and completing one or
more query-cpu-model-baseline QMP exchanges with QEMU in addition to a
query-cpu-model-expansion QMP exchange to expand all features in the model.

See "s390x CPU models: exposing features" patch set on Qemu-devel for discussion
of QEMU aspects.

This is part of resolution of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511999

Version 4 attempts to address all issues from V1,2,3 including making the
QEMU process activation for QMP Queries generic (not specific to capabilities)
and moving that code from qemu_capabilities to qemu_process.

Version 4 greatly expands the number of patches to make the set easier
to review.

The patches to do hypervisor baseline using QEMU are primarily in
qemu_driver.c

The patches to make the process code generic (not capabilities specific)
are mostly in qemu_process.c

Many of the patches are cut / paste of existing code.  The patches that
change functionality are as modular and minimal as possible to make
reviewing easier.

I attempted to make the new qemu_process functions
consistent with the existing domain activation qemu_process functions.

A thread safe library function creates a unique directory under libDir for each QEMU
process (for QMP messaging) to decouple processes in terms of sockets and
file system footprint.

The last patch is based on past discussion of QEMU cpu
expansion only returning migratable features except for one x86 case where
non-migratable features are explicitly requested.  The patch records that features
are migratable based on QEMU only returning migratable features.  The main result
is the CPU xml for S390 CPU's contains the same migratability info the X86 currently
does.  The testcases were updated to reflect the change.

Every patch should compile independently if applied in sequence.

Thanks,
Chris
