For S390, the default console target type cannot be of type

It is necessary to at least interpret the 'arch' attribute
value of the os/type element to produce the correct default type.
Therefore we need to extend the signature of defaultConsoleTargetType
to account for architecture. As a consequence all the drivers
supporting this capability function must be updated.
Despite the amount of changed files, the only change in behavior is
that for S390 the default console target type will be 'virtio'.
Makes sense.
N.B.: A more future-proof approach could be to to use hypervisor
specific capabilities to determine the best possible console type.
For instance one could add an opaque private data pointer to the
virCaps structure (in case of QEMU to hold capsCache) which could
then be passed to the defaultConsoleTargetType callback to determine
the console target type.
Seems to be however a bit overengineered for the use case...
And we can always make that change in the future if it proves necessary,
so I agree with your approach of the simpler change for now.
