Have we officially marked the argv parser as obsolete? News to me, but welcome
IMO since it's a lot of rarely used code that's never been exhaustively
covered. Always seemed like something that would be better suited as an
external tool (written in a higher level language) since outside of probing
qemu features it has very little overlap with the rest of libvirt.
