[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Expose rx/tx_queue_size in qemu.conf too

In 2074ef6cd4a2 and c56cdf259 (and friends) we've added two
attributes to virtio NICs: rx_queue_size and tx_queue_size.
However, sysadmins might want to set these on per-host basis but
don't necessarily have an access to domain XML (e.g. because they
are generated by some other app). So let's expose them under
qemu.conf (the settings from domain XML still take precedence as
they are more specific ones).

diff to v1:
- Reworded docs and config file comment
- Simplified logic in qemuBuildNicDevStr a bit
- Make the values require qemu with corresponding capabilities
