qemu: Permit PCI-free aarch64 mach-virt guests
There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on
aarch64 guests; however, guest OS support is still spotty at best,
so most guests are going to be using virtio-mmio instead.
Currently, mach-virt guests are closely modeled after q35 guests,
and that includes always adding a dmi-to-pci-bridge that's just
impossible to get rid of. While that's acceptable (if suboptimal)
for q35, where you will always need some kind of PCI device anyway,
mach-virt guests should be allowed to avoid it.
virDomainDeviceInfoIterateInternal: Iterate through redirdevs too
This is going to be important later when we received
DEVICE_DELETED event on the qemu monitor. If we do,
virDomainDefFindDevice() is called to find the device for given
device alias in the virDomainDef tree. When we enable removal for
redirdevs we need to include them in the lookup process too.

Basically, there are just two functions introduced here:
virDomainRedirdevDefFind which looks up given redirdev in domain
definition, and virDomainRedirdevDefRemove which removes the
device at given index in the array of devices.

There's currently just one limitation: redirdevs that want to go
on USB bus require a USB controller, surprisingly.
At the same time, since I'm using virDomainDefHasUSB() in this
new validator function, it has to be moved a few lines up and
also its header needed to be changed a bit: it is now taking a
const pointer to domain def since it's not changing anything in
there.

cpu_x86: Use signature in CPU detection code
Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

conf: Remove pre-calculation of initial memory size
While we need to know the difference between the total memory stored in
<memory> and the actual size not included in the possible memory modules
we can't pre-calculate it reliably. This is due to the fact that
libvirt's XML is copied via formatting and parsing the XML and the
initial memory size can be reliably calculated only when certain
conditions are met due to backwards compatibility.
This patch removes the storage of 'initial_memory' and fixes the helpers
to recalculate the initial memory size all the time from the total
memory size. This conversion is possible when we also make sure that
memory hotplug accounts properly for the update of the total memory size
and thus the helpers for inserting and removing memory devices need to
be tweaked too.
This fixes a bug where a cold-plug and cold-remove of a memory device
would increase the size reported in <memory> in the XML by the size of
the memory device. This would happen as the persistent definition is
copied before attaching the device and this would lead to the loss of
data in 'initial_memory'.

qemu: don't add pci-bridge to Q35/arm domains unless it's needed
Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).
This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.
