Re: [libvirt PATCH v2 2/4] qemu: process: Move SEV capability check to qemuValidateDomainDef

Checks such as this one should be done at domain def validation time, not before starting the QEMU process. As for this change, existing domains will see some QEMU error when starting as opposed to a libvirt error that this QEMU binary doesn't support SEV, but that's okay, we never guaranteed error messages to remain the same.
