[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: match controller index for LIVE+CONFIG when doing hotplug

An attempt to attach a new scsi controller with both --live and
--config but without specifying an index, e.g.:

  <controller model="virtio-scsi" type="scsi" />

led to this error:

  internal error: Cannot parse controller index -1

This was because unspecified indexes are auto-assigned during
virDomainDefPostParse(), which doesn't happen for hotplugged devices
until after the device has been added to the domainDef, but
qemuDomainAttachFlags() makes a copy of the device (for feeding to
qemuDomainAttachDeviceLive() *before* it's added to the config, and
the copying function actually formats the device object and then
re-parses it into a new object.

Since qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig() consumes the device object
pointer (i.e. sets it to NULL in the original virDomainDeviceDef) we
can't just wait to make the copy. Instead, we need to make a *shallow*
copy of the virDomainDeviceDef prior to
qemuDomainAttachDeviceConfig(), then make a deep copy of the shallow
copy.

This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344899
