This series of patches add RSS property support for virtio-net-pci.

Virtio RSS effectively works with TAP devices, it requires additional
vectors for VirtioNet, queues for TAP device, and vCPU cores.
Example of device configuration:
```
<interface type="network">
  <mac address="52:54:00:c4:90:25"/>
  <source network="default"/>
  <model type="virtio"/>
  <driver name="qemu" queues="9" rss="on" rss_hash_report="off"/>
  <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</interface>
```

Capability "rss" enables RSS, "rss_hash_report" - enables hashes in vheader.
For now, "rss" property will trigger "in-qemu" RSS in most cases.
Current Qemu(6.2) supports eBPF RSS that may require additional capabilities.
In future, the helper will be provided. And this code is the base for VirtIO RSS.

Changes since v1:
 * refactored patches
 * changed docs and tests

Changes since RFC:
 * rebased and refactored
 * added tests
 * postponed the helper

Andrew Melnychenko (4):
  domain_conf: Added configs for RSS and Hash report.
  qemu_capabilities: Added capabilites for qemu's "rss" and "hash".
  qemu_command: Added "rss" and "hash" properties.
  test: Added xml2argv and xml2xml tests.
