Vitaly Kuznetsov 9f3b5f89d4 qemu: add support for Direct Mode for Hyper-V Synthetic timers
QEMU-4.1 supports 'Direct Mode' for Hyper-V synthetic timers
(hv-stimer-direct CPU flag): Windows guests can request that timer
expiration notifications are delivered as normal interrupts (and not
VMBus messages). This is used by Hyper-V on KVM.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 65c02db98d conf: add support for Direct Mode for Hyper-V Synthetic timers
Support 'Direct Mode' for Hyper-V Synthetic Timers in domain config.
Make it 'stimer' enlightenment option as it is not a separate thing.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 320042d01e tests: qemuxml2argv: switch to DO_TEST_CAPS for Hyper-V tests
In particular, use DO_TEST_CAPS_LATEST which tests the canonical
'hv-feature' syntax instead of 'hv_feature' aliases and DO_TEST_CAPS_VER
with 4.0.0 to also test the old syntax.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 99441c3bfb conf: change the way how Hyper-V features are printed out
Current code doesn't allow us to add sub-features as we always print the
closing '/>'. As a preparatory change to implementing 'direct' sub-feature
for 'stimer' feature switch to printing closing tag individually.

No functional change.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 37ce8cfaa3 docs: formatdomain: move 'msrs' out of Hyper-V Enlightenments
Introduced by: commit e9528f41c6

'msrs' is a feature unrelated to Hyper-V Enlightenments, the commit message
which added it and the test have it right:

    <features>
      ...
      <msrs unknown='ignore'>
      ...
    </features>
