Since 4c993d8a we failed to set this important capability, which
allows starting a domain with QXL video card. We set DEVICE_QXL
capability bit instead, which is not necessary wrong. Anyway, if
qemu supports the new '-device qxl' it supports older '-vga qxl'
as well. The latter is used for the primary (the first) qxl video
card, the former for other video cards.

Other approach is to set QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL unconditionally
as supported by all qemu-1.2+ in qemuCapsInitQMPBasic().
But I think this one is slightly nicer.

    I don't think it is necessary to add this code.
    because we have set the caps flag in qemuCapsParseHelpStr()

            if (strstr(p, "|qxl"))
            qemuCapsSet(caps, QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL);

The problem here is about collecting cap flags via QMP, we need to set QEMU_CAPS_VGA_QXL
    unconditionally but still in discussion.

Patch from Doug Goldstein in [PATCH] The -vga CLI arg accepts qxl in qemu 1.2+ always

The -vga command always accepts qxl in 1.2 and newer.
