[libvirt] [PATCH 17/55] qemu: process: clear QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKDEV for VMs where we can't support it

SD cards are currently passed by using -drive only which would not be
compatible with using -blockdev fully.

Floppies at least in the case of the i440 machine type don't have a
reasonable qdev ID if -drive is not used and thus would not allow
queries and other operations. Since floppy drives are obsolete anyways
clear blockdev when using them.

Clear QEMU_CAPS_BLOCKDEV if the VM has such devices.
