When running on s390 with a kernel that does not support cpu model checking and
with a Qemu new enough to support query-cpu-model-expansion, the gathering of qemu
capabilities will fail. Qemu responds to the query-cpu-model-expansion qmp
command with an error because the needed kernel ioct does not exist. When this
happens a guest cannot even be defined due to missing qemu capabilities data.
This patch fixes the problem by silently ignoring generic errors stemming from
calls to query-cpu-model-expansion.

Qemu has abandoned the +/-feature syntax in favor of key=value. Some
architectures (s390) do not support +/-feature. So we update libvirt to handle
both formats.
If we detect a sufficiently new Qemu (indicated by support for qmp
query-cpu-model-expansion) we use key=value else we fall back to +/-feature.

query-cpu-model-expansion is used to get a list of features for a given cpu
model name or to get the model and features of the host hardware/environment
as seen by Qemu/kvm.
