[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4]use newer video device by -device in qemu commandline

This patch set aims to use qemu VGA device with -device option to replace
-vga option. The mapping is as follows.

'-device VGA' maps to '-vga std'
'-device cirrus-vga' maps to '-vga cirrus'
'-device qxl-vga' maps to '-vga qxl'
    (there is also '-device qxl' for secondary devices)
'-device vmware-svga' maps to '-vga vmware'

Through this change, guests will be able to use any available PCI slot
number rather than fixed 0x2 slot for primary video device. For backwards
compatibility, if a certain qemu version does not support one of the above
video device arguments to -device or even -device itself, the -vga will still
be used.
