Add the ability to enable blob resources for the virtio video device.
This will accelerate the display path due to less or no copying of pixel
data.
Blob resource support can be enabled with e.g.:
<video>
<model type='virtio' blob='on'/>
</video>
Some additional background information about blob resources:

Oops. Didn't catch that in the rebase.

There are a lot of libvirt features that require minimum versions of
qemu, but it doesn't look like we generally specify these qemu version
requirements in the libvirt documentation. Not sure if I should add it
