[PATCH 1/2] qemu_capabilities: Don't leak @str in virQEMUCapsLoadMachines()

If parsing "maxCpus" attribute of <machine/> element fails an
error is printed but the corresponding string is not freed. While
it is very unlikely to happen (parsed XML is not user provided
and we are the ones generating it), it is possible. Instead of
freeing the variable in the error path explicitly, let's declare
it as g_autofree. And while I'm at it, let's bring it into the
loop where it's used.
