[PATCH 2/5] util: introduce virHostCPUGetMicrocodeVersion

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

This new API reads host's CPU microcode version from /proc/cpuinfo.

Unfortunately, there is no other way of reading microcode version which
would be usable from both system and session daemon.
