Some architectures (S390) depend on QEMU to compute baseline CPU model and
expand a models feature set.

Interacting with QEMU requires starting the QEMU process and completing one or
more query-cpu-model-baseline QMP exchanges with QEMU in addition to a
query-cpu-model-expansion QMP exchange to expand all features in the model.

See "s390x CPU models: exposing features" patch set on Qemu-devel for discussion
of QEMU aspects.

This is part of resolution of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511999

-----

This patch set fixes all process code issues identified here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-November/msg00349.html
in patches 1-22 of the series.

The remaining patches implement the BaselineHypervisorCPU changes using
the non-domain qemu process code.


The process changes (patches 1-22)...

- Make the process code generic (not capabilities specific) for use by
BaselineHypervisorCPU

- Many of the process patches are simple code moves with implementation
changes in other distinct patches

- A thread safe library function creates a unique directory under libDir for each QEMU
process (for QMP messaging) to decouple processes in terms of sockets and
file system footprint.


The BaselineHypervisorCPU changes (patches 22-36)...

- Fix all issues raised in patch sets 1-4.

Thanks,
Chris
