[libvirt] [PATCH RFC 3/3] qemu: Add support for paravirtual spinlocks in the guest

The linux kernel recently added support for paravirtual spinlock
handling to avoid performance regressions on overcomitted hosts. This
feature needs to be turned in the hypervisor so that the guest OS is
notified about the possible support.
This patch adds a new feature "paravirt-spinlock" to the XML and
supporting code to enable the "kvm_pv_unhalt" pseudoCPU feature in qemu.

This patch is RFC as qemu didn't add this to the upstream repo yet:

Original thread:

I'm sending it to get review feedback but will push it only after qemu will
have it.
