[libvirt] [PATCH 4/5] conf: include x86 microcode version in virsh capabilities

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini at redhat.com>

A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; an example
from the past was the update that disabled TSX on several Haswell and
Broadwell machines.

In order to track the x86 microcode version in the QEMU capabilities,
we have to fetch it and store it in the host CPU.  This also makes the
version visible in "virsh capabilities", which is a nice side effect.
