These two optional attributes allow setting lower and upper boundary for
number of worker threads for given IOThread. For example:
--iothreads iothreads=2,\
iothreadids.iothread0.id=1,\
iothreadids.iothread1.id=2,\
iothreadids.iothread1.thread_pool_min=8,\
iothreadids.iothread1.thread_pool_max=16

This allows support for host/guest clipboard sharing when using vnc
guests (and possibly other graphics types in the future). This channel
is similar to the spicevmc channel, but it contains a couple additional
options to enable/disable clipboard sharing and specify the mouse mode.
In the case of spice, these settings are specified on the 'graphics'
element, but for qemu-vdagent, they are specified on the channel. For
example:
--channel=qemu-vdagent,source.clipboard.copypaste=on,source.mouse.mode=client

Originally we thought it would be for the clouduser, but then
we changed it, and now it's ambiguous. Rename it to make the
usage clear, and add an alias to keep any users working

* libvirt fills in cbitpos and reducedPhysBits for us
* libvirt errors if type is missing
* libvirt errors if host/qemu doesn't support sev
So drop it all. This simplifies testing because we don't need
sev domcaps in place just to generate the XML

Via the virt-manager UI we aren't converting relative path to
absolute path, even though we do it internally when needed.
We were benefiting from this in the test suite in some ways, so we
need to adjust tests to strip out the dev dir on XML comparison

And move the path to not be rooted in /dev, which doesn't make
sense for a directory pool, and triggers some special /dev handling
in virtinst that we don't want in the common testing path.

It _is_ type=logical, so make it clear in the naming. Plus we
already have a type=disk pool named pool-disk

This adds the power of --xml to individual device options. For example
this makes it easier to make custom XML changes for a single --disk
device from both virt-install and virt-xml

This is a virt-xml option to refresh a VM to use the latest machine
type version for the machine type it's currently using. Ex:
pseries-2.11 -> pseries
pc-q35-5.0 -> q35
This is useful for when qemu deprecates and removes the machine type
out from under you, or to pick up bug fixes.

Libvirt defaults to PCIe for arm32/aarch64 and riscv -M virt too.
Rename q35_pcie_root_ports to num_pcie_root_ports and extend the
logic to those archs too
Signed-off-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
It's generally not as valuable for non-x86 where we don't have the
history of supporting non-virtio OSes, but as time goes on it will
likely become more relevant for non-x86 arches, so let's make this
change now to get ahead of it.

The code previously was just encoding the same defaults as libvirt,
which doesn't really add anything.
Instead, let's prefer type='emulator' model='tpm-crb', which
gives the most modern virtualization friendly config. When we don't
know if that will work, we mostly leave things up to libvirt to fill
in.

Add extra PCIe root ports to enable q35 device hotplug to work out
of the box. A typical modern linux guest has 7-8 PCI devices added
by default, so this gives plenty of wiggle room.
The smart thing to do would be to count the attached PCI devices
and add 4-5 extra, but that takes more work and isn't trivial.
The number can be overridden on the cli with:
--controller q35_pcie_root_ports=X
Use =0 to go back to the old behavior.

host-copy was the old default, but it's fundamentally flawed. Since
we switched to host-model default a few years back, it's not advertised
in the docs or selectable via virt-manager any more.
Have it print a warning and invoke host-model-only

This was previously discussed here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2020-September/msg00017.html
For the x86 + hvm case, failure to specify an --osinfo/--os-variant
OS, and failure to detect an OS from install media, will now throw
a big error:
```
--os-variant/--osinfo OS name is required, but no value was
set or detected.
This is now a fatal error. Specifying an OS name is required
for modern, performant, and secure virtual machine defaults.
If you expected virt-install to detect an OS name from the
install media, you can set a fallback OS name with:
--osinfo detect=on,name=OSNAME
You can see a full list of possible OS name values with:
virt-install --osinfo list
If your Linux distro is not listed, try one of generic values
such as: linux2020, linux2018, linux2016
If you just need to get the old behavior back, you can use:
--osinfo detect=on,require=off
Or export VIRTINSTALL_OSINFO_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1
```
The thread goes into more detail, but basically, for x86 VMs at least,
it's unlikely you will _ever_ want the default 'generic' behavior,
which gives gives no virtio, no PCIe, no usb3, IDE disks, slow
network devices, etc.
Many people use virt-install in scripts and CI, and this may now
cause breakage. The environment variable is there to help them
get things back to normal as quick as possible, but it will still
noisy up their logs with the warning to hopefully get them to make
a useful change to their virt-install invocations.
This is limited to x86, since that's where most of our defaults
historically differ, and where we can depend on libosinfo to give
the most accurate device info. This may be relevant to change for
other KVM architectures in the future.

We are about to change the some defaults around os handling. Let's
start recommending the nicer named --osinfo more, since new error
messages are going to promote it a bit as well

I'm still seeing blog posts that recommend using
--os-type linux --os-variant XXX
Which has been a no op for a long time but is mostly harmless.
Current git would make this an error condition, but that's too
disruptive IMO. Just print a warning

The canonical tool for this is `osinfo-query os`, which we still
reference in the man pages and in the list output.
However, we are about to make missing --os-variant fatal for common
usage, and I don't want to force users to install an extra tool just
to figure out what an acceptable --os-variant value is.

This recommendation came from an internal discussion. The cases are
* For block storage. This means guest requests are passed through
to the host device, which seems a more reasonable default than
ignoring them
* For sparse disk images we will create. discard=unmap helps preserve
the sparseness of the disk image. If a user requests non-sparse, they
are likely more concerned with performance than saving disk space,
so we leave the default as is. We limit this to disk images we will
create, since that's the easiest case to check, and it's less clear
if we should change the behavior here for an arbitrary existing
disk image.

<os firmware='efi'> is the libvirt official way to do what we
historically implement with `--boot uefi`, and UEFI setup in
virt-manager.
Let's prefer libvirt's official method if the support is advertised
in domcapabilities.
