[PATCH 17/20] Remove probing of CPU models when launching QEMU guests

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.
