Markers mostly - easily removed

For me it was a choice of haphazard and mostly random placement vs.
ordered placement. It really doesn't matter that much to me; however,
once I started it was just easier to move stuff. Although it really was
horrible in difference management - especially when 300+ line functions
were moved (and there's vary feelings on code that has 300+ line helper
functions). That difference mgmt only became clear after I'd gone
through a bunch of changes and started looking back at the pile. Of
course a second deterrent becomes backport nightmares...

The real goal was to change qemuBuildCommandLine to not have "much"
inline code. It's currently >1100 lines long. Instead everything would
be some sort of qemuBuildXXXCommandLine() type call. I think I can get
that down to 250-300 lines.

When adding new functions I was conflicted on placement, so that Type A
thing kicked in and I started moving functions. I can change to purely
create new helpers. It wasn't that difficult to move - although much
more difficult to review. Along the way I've found some things that
should be static (mostly all QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE related).

It's really not all that difficult for me to change course and just go
with the new qemuBuildXXXCommandLine functions.
