Re: [Libvir] Proposed XML format for capabilities, with examples [long]

After some discussion with Daniel Veillard, I've evolved this into:
<capabilities>
<host>
<features>
<vmx/>
<pae/>
<!-- etc -->
</features>
</host>
(This reason for this is to be consistent with the features listed in
<domain> descriptions).
<guest_architectures>
<guest_architecture>
<model> x86_64 </model>
<paravirt> xen </paravirt>
<domain_type> xen </domain_type>
<emulator> /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm </emulator>
</guest_architecture>
Also after discussion with DV:
<guest>
<architectures>
<architecture>
<!-- <model> etc. as above -->
<architecture>
</architectures>
</guest>
</capabilities>
(The reason for this is to reduce the verbosity of the XML and to allow
other guest-related non-architecture-related sections in a future version).
