This thread was previously called:
    s390x/cpumodel: Introduce "best" model variants

There was recently a discussion regarding CPU model versions. That concept
does not fit s390x where we have a lot of feature variability. I
proposed an alternative approach in [1], which might work for x86 as well
(but I am not sure if x86 still can or wants to switch to that), and
requires only little changes in upper layers.

[1] and patch #2 contains more information on the motivation for this. It
allows, for example, to specify/expand "best feature set possible on this
accelerator, hw and, firmware"

"
    Get the best possible feature set (e.g., excluding deprecated features)
    for a CPU definition in the configuration
        -cpu z14,all-features=off,recommended-features=on

    Get the maximum possible feature set (e.g., including deprecated
    features) for a CPU definition in the configuration ("everything that
    could be enabled"):
        -cpu z14,all-features=off,available-features=on

    Get all valid features for a CPU definition:
        -cpu z14,all-features=on
"

v1 -> v2:
- Use dynamic feature groups instead of new models
