qemu: Revert to using non-JSON commandline for -device

When -device is configured via JSON a bug [1] is triggered in qemu were
the DEVICE_DELETED event for the removal of the device frontend is no
longer delivered to libvirt. Without the DEVICE_DELETED event we don't
remove the corresponding entries in the VM XML.

Until qemu will be fixed we must stop using the JSON syntax for -device.

This patch removes the detection of the capability. The capability is
used only during startup of a fresh VM so we don't need to consider any
compaitibility steps for existing VMs.

For users who wish to use 'libvirt-7.9' and 'libvirt-7.10' with
'qemu-6.2' there are two possible workarounds:

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability '/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf':

   capability_filters = [ "device.json" ]

 - filter out the 'device.json' qemu capability via qemu namespace XML:

   <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
     [...]
     <qemu:capabilities>
       <qemu:del capability='device.json'/>
     </qemu:capabilities>
   </domain>

We must never again use the same capability name as we are now
instructing users to filter it as a workaround so once qemu is fixed
we'll need to pick a new capability value for it.
