Main motivation for this series was a defect in how we handle
hotplugging certain devices:

When e.g. adding scsi15 on a vm with i440fx + lsi controller, we'd need
scsihw2 (since only 7 devices can live on scsihw0 and scsihw1
respectively) which sits on bus pci.4. This itself is not added by
default to the config, so we tried to hotplug the bridge. This works,
but without SHPC (which is neither the default, nor does it work
reliably in all guests) one cannot hot-plug anything into a hot-plugged
bridge. So when hotplugging scsi15 in this example, we'd hot-plug
pci.4, but adding scsihw2 would fail and leave the disk in 'pending'.

When now a live-migration is initiated, the already added bridge is
never recorded in the config, and the guest crashes on the remote
after it's resumed.

Since this is a rather narrow case, I'd opted for preventing
hot-plugging bridges completely.

This version adds a few more cleanup/maintenance patches and tests, but
they should be relatively self-explaining.

changes from v2:
* rebase on master
* improve wording and commit message/subject
* add new tests and factor out some changes
* rename qemu_add_pci_bridges to assert_pci_bridge_present and remove
  its now unneeded parameters (and the unnecessary variable in the
  vm_deviceplug)
* rename get_bridges to get_pci_bridges to make it clear its virtual
  hardware related
* rename get_bridge_for device to get_pci_bridge_for_device to be
  consistent
* new patch that increases the minimum machine version to 5.0
  (was already technically enforced by qemu, just not by our code)
* new patch to add pci.4 by default starting with machine version 11.1
* surely some things i forgot to write down...

changes from v1:
* updated a few callsites of methods which removed the bridges parameter
  which i originally forgot (used 'undef' as that parameter)
* added a fixes trailer for the hotplug commit
* use hostpci_fmt schema to check legacy-igd. parsing twice is not
  optimal, but it's only 16 lines and we can improve upon that later too
