qemu: Convert 'priv->dbusVMStateIds' to a GSList
The conversion removes the use of virStringListAdd/virStringListRemove

Storing the dbus VMState ids in a GSList is pretty straightforward and
the slightly increased complexity of the code will be paid back by
removing the string list helpers later.

In commit 88957116c9d3cb4705380c3702c9d4315fb500bb I've adapted
libvirt to QEMU's deprecation of -mem-path and -mem-prealloc and
switched to memory-backend-* even for system memory. My claim was
that that's what QEMU does under the hood anyway. And indeed it
was: see QEMU commit 900c0ba373aada4c13d47d95330aa72ec4067ba5 and
look at function create_default_memdev().
However, then commit d96c4d5f193e0e45beec80a6277728b32875bddb was
merged into QEMU. While it was fixing a bug, it also changed the
create_default_memdev() function in which it started turning off
use of canonical path (by setting
"x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" attribute to false). This
wasn't documented until QEMU commit 8db0b20415c129cf5e577a593a4a0372d90b7cc9. The path affects
migration - the same path has to be used on the source and on the
destination. Therefore, if there is old guest started with '-m X'
it has "pc.ram" block which doesn't use canonical path and thus
when migrating to newer QEMU which uses memory-backend-* we have
to turn off the canonical path explicitly. Otherwise,
"/objects/pc.ram" path would be expected by QEMU which doesn't
match the source.
Ideally, we would need to set it only for some machine types
(4.0 and older) because newer machine types already do what we
are doing. However, we treat machine types as opaque strings and
therefore we don't want to parse nor inspect their versions. But
then again, newer machine types already do what we are doing in
this commit, so when old machine types are deprecated and removed
we can remove our hack and forget it ever happened.

In this case we want to call completer for --domain option, but

Anyway, the way that we currently check whether --options list
should be generated is checking the type of the last --option. If
it isn't DATA, STRING, INT, or ARGV (all these expect a value),
then we can generate --option list. Well, writing the condition
this way is needlessly verbose and also prone to errors (see d9a320bf97 for example).

returned by a completer callback that don't correspond with

virshDomainNameCompleter() returns all domain names and then
vshCompleterFilter() refines the list so that only domains with
correct prefix of their name are offered to user. This was a
design choice - it allows us to have shorter completers as they
do not have to copy the list filtering over and over.
Having said all of that, it may happen that a completer does not
return anything (e.g. there is no domain in requested state,
virsh is not connected and thus completer exited early, etc.). In
that case, the string list is NULL and vshCompleterFilter() can

they're cleaning out rather than all the wasteful and pointless
copying.

qemu: rename virFirmware*Free() functions to have more accurate names
Several functions had the names virFirmware[something]Free(), but they
aren't taking a pointer to some object and freeing it. Instead, they
are making a copy of the content of an entire object, then Freeing the
objects pointed to by that content.
As a first step in a too-complicated cleanup just to eliminate a few
occurrences of VIR_FREE(), this patch renames those functions to more
accurately reflect what they do - they Free the *Content* of their
arguments.

util: rename two *Free() functions while changing VIR_FREE to g_free
dhcpHostFree() and addnHostFree() don't follow the normal pattern of
*Free functions in the rest of libvirt code - they are actually more
similar to the *Dispose() functions, in that they free all subordinate
objects, but not the object pointed to by the argument
itself. However, the arguments aren't virObjects, so it wouldn't be
proper to name them *Dispose() either.
They *currently* behave similar to a *Clear() function, in that they
free all the subordinate objects and nullify the pointers of those
objects. HOWEVER, we don't actually need or want that behavior - the
two functions in question are only called as part of a higher level
*Free() function, and the pointers are not referenced in any way
between the time they are freed and when the parent object is freed.
So, since the current name isn't correct, nor is *Dispose(), and we
want to change the behavior in such a way that *Clear() also wouldn't
be correct, lets name the functions *FreeContent(), which is an
accurate description of what the functions do, and what we *want* them
to do.
And since it's such a small patch, we can go ahead and change that
behavior - replacing the VIR_FREEs with g_free.
