[libvirt] [PATCH 2/6] conf: permit auto-assignment of *non-hotpluggable* PCI devices to pcie-root

Although the slots in pcie-root (aka pcie.0 aka "the PCIe Root
Complex") are PCIe slots, and the PCIe spec usually doesn't like
putting legacy PCI devices in PCIe slots, these are an exception -
"according to my sources" (i.e. I haven't read the spec myself, but
know people who have), the PCIe spec expressly permits legacy PCI
devices plugged directly into the root complex.

This patch changes the connection-type flags for pcie-root to allow
legacy PCI endpoint devices. For now this has no effect in practice,
since qemuDomainAssignDevicePCISlots() sets the HOTPLUGGABLE flag for
all devices except PCI controllers, and pcie-root doesn't allow
devices that have HOTPLUGGABLE set - that will be remedied in later
patches.
