the support for sheepdog storage backend since v8.8.0, Let's drop it.

Nowadays it could be as simple as `virt-install --install fedora36`.
Trying to represent the interdepencies here is not worth it, but
let's keep a simple string around to avoid the default parser
usage string, which is huge

This commit added support for cpu physical address bits control, It's
useful for VMs with huge amount of ram.
E.g.
--cpu Cascadelake-Server,maxphysaddr.mode=emulate,maxphysaddr.bits=46

Anything passed to --boot should imply --install no_install=yes
in the absence of other --install options. This is historically
what we've done but we regressed in 4.1.0

Properly setting the metadata cache size can provide better performance
in case of using big qcow2 images.
This patch introduces two driver options:
* driver.metadata_cache.max_size
* driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit
E.g. --disk ...,driver.type=qcow2,\
driver.metadata_cache.max_size=2,\
driver.metadata_cache.max_size.unit=MiB
BTW, Metadata cache size control is currently supported only for qcow2.
Regarding how to properly caluclate the cache size of qcow2, Please refer
to qemu's documentation.

We need to change the flow from
* parse all the strings
* set capabilities defaults
* build installer
* fill in all guest defaults
To
* parse boot and metadata strings
* set capabilities defaults
* build installer
* set --name default
* parse all the remaining strings
* fill in all guest defaults
Because --disk parsing depends on --name for some path generation.
So this fixes --disk names when --name is implicitly specified by
--install or --osinfo

It allows to set the thread pool size to optimize spawning worker threads
for the default event loop in real time environment. For example:
--iothreads defaultiothread.thread_pool_min=8,\
defaultiothread.thread_pool_max=16

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

The domain capabilities XML always contains the canonical machine name.
When the selected machine type for a guest is an alias, the check
comparing it to the domain capabilities machine will always fail. This
prevents the domain capabilities result from being cached.

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

Windows 11 only supports EFI for installation, legacy BIOS is
discontinued as an option for new installs, unless you switch into
the console and run various regedit hacks in the installer.
This is not something we expect users to do, so osinfo-db will
report:
<firmware arch="x86_64" type="efi"/>
<firmware arch="x86_64" type="bios" supported="false"/>
for Windows 11.
When seeing 'bios' with supported=false, we need to prefer EFI
firmware no matter what.
For other OS we should stil prefer BIOS, because EFI blocks the usage of
internal qcow2 snapshots until some libvirt work is done to use the new
QMP snapshot commands.
Note this relies on a new API osinfo_os_get_complete_firmware_list
just added to libosinfo in version 1.10, so for most existing OS
distros this will be dormant functionality until they rebase to
latest libosinfo APIs.
The Windows 11 entry for osinfo-db will be the first that exposes
the metadata indicating lack of BIOS support.

The Guest object passed in by the user is no longer altered in place,
instead we act on copies of the original XML. We need to rework how
unattended/cloudinit device altering works a bit to handle this.
There's some XML churn because working on parsexml gives different
output ordering, but this is expected.
