Even libvirt 1.3.0 still knows about the capabilities, they are prefixed
with X_ in the enum and the corresponding strings are still in place,
and they will be recognized when parsing capabilities from both cache
and status XMLs. We just never check for such capabilities anywhere in
the code. That said, I think we're fine with upgrades.
