Currently the acceptance tests tagged with "machine" have the "-M TYPE"
automatically added to the list of arguments of the QEMUMachine object.
In other words, that option is passed to the launched QEMU. On this
series it is implemented the same feature but instead for tests marked
with "cpu".

There is a caveat, however, in case the test needs additional arguments to
the CPU type they cannot be passed via tag, because the tags parser split
values by comma (limitation which Avocado plans to address, see
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/45410). For example, in
tests/acceptance/x86_cpu_model_versions.py, there are cases where:

  * -cpu is set to "Cascadelake-Server,x-force-features=on,check=off,enforce=off"
  * if it was tagged like "cpu:Cascadelake-Server,x-force-features=on,check=off,enforce=off"
    then the parser would break it into 4 tags ("cpu:Cascadelake-Server",
    "x-force-features=on", "check=off", "enforce=off")
  * resulting on "-cpu Cascadelake-Server" and the remaining arguments are ignored.

It was introduced the avocado_qemu.Test.set_vm_arg() method to deal with
cases like the example above, so that one can tag it as "cpu:Cascadelake-Server"
AND call self.set_vm_args('-cpu', "Cascadelake-Server,x-force-features=on,check=off,enforce=off"),
and that results on the reset of the initial value of -cpu.

This series was tested on CI (https://gitlab.com/wainersm/qemu/-/pipelines/294640198)
and with the following code:

from avocado_qemu import Test

class CPUTest(Test):
    def test_cpu(self):
        """
        :avocado: tags=cpu:host
        """
        # The cpu property is set to the tag value, or None on its absence
        self.assertEqual(self.cpu, "host")
        # The created VM has the '-cpu host' option
        self.assertIn("-cpu host", " ".join(self.vm._args))
        self.vm.launch()

    def test_cpu_none(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.cpu, None)
        self.assertNotIn('-cpu', self.vm._args)

    def test_cpu_reset(self):
        """
        :avocado: tags=cpu:host
        """
        self.assertIn("-cpu host", " ".join(self.vm._args))
        self.set_vm_arg("-cpu", "Cascadelake-Server,x-force-features=on")
        self.assertNotIn("-cpu host", " ".join(self.vm._args))
        self.assertIn("-cpu Cascadelake-Server,x-force-features=on", " ".join(self.vm._args))

Changes:
 - v2 -> v3:
   - The arg and value parameters of set_vm_arg() are now mandatories and
     fixed an index out of bounds bug [crosa]
   - Rebased. Needed to adapt the (new) boot_xen.py test (patch 03)
 - v1 -> v2:
   - Recognize the cpu value passed via test parameter [crosa]
   - Fixed tags (patch 02) on preparation to patch 03 [crosa]
   - Added QEMUMachine.args property (patch 04) so that _args could be handled
     without pylint complaining (protected property)
   - Added Test.set_vm_arg() (patch 05) to handle the corner case [crosa]

Wainer dos Santos Moschetta (7):
  tests/acceptance: Automatic set -cpu to the test vm

Ping.

Only patches 06 and 07 did not get any review.

The series touches many files and it was last rebased months ago, so 
likely I will need to resolve rebase conflicts. But I would like to have 
the reviews of those patches before.

Thanks!
