apparmor: Allow AMD-SEV device access for AMD-SEV VM
AMD-SEV virtual machines interact with the underlying
AMD-SEV technology through the character device /dev/sev.
Currently, the AppArmor profile does not include the rule
required to allow this access.
There are two main approaches to address this limitation:
1) Add the required rule to the libvirt-qemu abstraction.
2) Dynamically add the rule only when the VM is an AMD-SEV
guest.
Since AMD-SEV guests represent a niche use case, it is more
appropriate to apply the rule dynamically rather than granting
access to all VMs through a global abstraction change.
This commit implements option (2) by modifying the virt-aa-helper
binary to insert the necessary rule into the AppArmor dynamic

that the argument is annotated as unused iff it's really unused,
I couldn't bother rewriting it. It's generated code after all.

wireshark: Don't leak column strings
One of the problems of using val_to_str() is that it may return a
const string from given table ('vs'), OR return an allocated one.
Since the caller has no idea which case it is, it resides to safe
option and don't free returned string. But that might lead to a
memleak. This behaviour is fixed with wireshark-4.6.0 and support
for it will be introduced soon. But first, make vir_val_to_str()
behave like fixed val_to_str() from newer wireshark: just always
allocate the string.
Now, if val_to_str() needs to allocate new memory it obtains
allocator by calling wmem_packet_scope() which is what we may do
too.
Hand in hand with that, we need to free the memory using the
correct allocator, hence wmem_free(). But let's put it into a
wrapper vir_wmem_free() because just like val_to_str(), it'll
need additional argument when adapting to new wireshark.
Oh, and freeing the memory right after col_add_fstr() is safe as
it uses vsnprintf() under the hood to format passed args.
One last thing, the wmem.h file used to live under epan/wmem/ but
then in v3.5.0~240 [1] was moved to wsutil/wmem/.

qemu: Don't add memballoon by default on RISC-V
The idea of adding devices such as USB controllers or memory
balloons by default comes from attempting to match QEMU's own
defaults at a time when x86 was the only game in town.
The unfortunate consequence of this is that, if the user does
NOT want the device in question to be present, they have to
create a special XML element with model=none to stop libvirt.
This is counter-intuitive.
For architectures for which we've added support more recently,
such as aarch64 and loongarch64, we've generally chosen to do
the sensible thing and create very minimal guests by default.
The user is of course still able to ask for additional hardware
if they so desire.
When adding RISC-V support, we accidentally forgot to skip the
creation of the default memory balloon. Address that oversight.
This is technically a breaking change, but it's fairly safe to
apply it because:
* it doesn't affect existing guests;
* virt-manager will automatically add the memballoon device
by default anyway;
* RISC-V is still not widely used.

qemu: Use qemu-xhci with no fallback on RISC-V
Similar to loongarch64, the current behavior is a result
of the way the existing code was written rather than a
consequence of an intentional choice. Make the two
architectures behave the same way, as they should have
from the start.

qemu: Use qemu-xhci with no fallback on loongarch64
The architecture was introduced at a time when USB3 in
general, and qemu-xhci in particular, had already been
well established for years. Having USB1 controllers as a
fallback was something that happened by mistake due to
the way the pre-existing code was organized rather than
because of a conscious decision. Make things work the
way they should have in the first place.

qemu: Clean up qemuDomainDefaultUSBControllerModel()
Switch from the current approach, in which an initial and
likely poor default is picked and then a better one later
overwrites it, to the more common and easy to reason about
pattern where the value is returned directly as soon as
possible.
To make things easier to understand and more maintainable,
the various architectures for which we have explicit
handling are each taken care of separately, with no falling
through to the default behavior.

In addition to the code in qemuDomainControllerDefPostParse(),
which we have just factored into its own function, we also have
some code in qemuDomainDefAddDefaultDevices() that deals with
choosing the USB controller model for a couple of specific
machine types.
Once again, extract the logic to a dedicated helper. The
behavior is unchanged.
