Andrea Bolognani 42ed1d6818 tests: Add default-models cases for many architectures
These are similar to the minimal cases that we just introduced,
but are intended to demonstrate what device or controller model
libvirt will choose when one is not provided by the user.

Note that we want both regular and ABI_UPDATE variants of the
various test cases because, in some cases, the behavior for new
guests is not the same as that for existing ones due to backward
compatibility concerns.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:

https://libvirt.org
