virtio-pci is the way forward for aarch64 guests: it's faster
and less alien to people coming from other architectures.
Now that guest support is finally getting there, we'd like to
start using it by default instead of virtio-mmio.
Users and applications can already opt-in by explicitly using
<address type='pci'/>
inside the relevant elements, but that's kind of cumbersome and
requires all users and management applications to adapt, which
we'd really like to avoid.
What we can do instead is use virtio-mmio only if the guest
already has at least one virtio-mmio device, and use virtio-pci
in all other situations.
That means existing virtio-mmio guests will keep using the old
addressing scheme, and new guests will automatically be created
using virtio-pci instead. Users can still override the default
in either direction.

RFC: still needs polish (documentation, test cases) before it
can be considered for merging, plus it builds on top of changes
that haven't made it into master yet.
Changes from v1:
* use virDomainDeviceInfoIterate(), as suggested by Martin
and Laine, which results in cleaner and more robust code
