[libvirt PATCH 4/4] qemu: Enable migration events only for fresh QEMU process

Every running QEMU process we are willing to reconnect (i.e., at least
3.1.0) supports migration events and we can assume the capability is
already enabled since last time libvirt daemon connected to its monitor.

Well, it's not guaranteed though. If libvirt 1.2.17 or older was used to
start QEMU 3.1.0 or newer, migration events would not be enabled. And if
the user decides to upgrade libvirt from 1.2.17 to 8.4.0 while the QEMU
process is still running, they would not be able to migrate the domain
because of disabled migration events. I think we do not really need to
worry about this scenario as libvirt 1.2.17 is 7 years old while QEMU
3.1.0 was released only 3.5 years ago. Thus a chance someone would be
running such configuration should be fairly small and a combination with
upgrading 1.2.17 to 8.4.0 (or newer) with running domains should get it
pretty much to zero. The issue would disappear ff the ancient libvirt is
first upgraded to something older than 8.4.0 and then to the current
libvirt.

Notes:
    I was hoping we could do this without any downside, but it appeared this
    was not possible. In case someone still thinks this would be an issue, I
    can take an alternative solution and check whether migration events are
    enabled when reconnecting to QEMU monitor.
