With our QEMU 4.1.1 package we can pass a additional internal version
to QEMU's machine, it will be split out there and ignored, but
returned on a QMP 'query-machines' call.
This allows us to use it for increasing the granularity with which we
can roll-out HW layout changes/additions for VMs. Until now we
required a machine version bump, happening normally every major
release of QEMU, with seldom, for us irrelevant, exceptions.
This often delays rolling out a feature, which would break
live-migration, by several months. That can now be avoided, the new
"pve-version" component of the machine can be bumped at will, and
thus we are much more flexible.
That versions orders after the ($major, $minor) version components
from an stable release - it can thus also be reset on the next
release.
The implementation extends the qemu-machine REGEX, remembers
"pve-version" when doing a "query-machines" and integrates support
into the min_version and extract_version helpers.
We start out with a version of 1.

...into:
* PVE::QemuServer::Helpers::min_version: check a major.minor version
string with a given major/minor version (this is equivalent to calling
the old qemu_machine_feature_enabled with only $kvmver)
* PVE::QemuServer::Machine::extract_version: get major.minor version
string from arbitrary machine type (e.g. pc-q35-4.0, ...)
* PVE::QemuServer::Machine::machine_version: helper to call
extract_version automatically before min_version
Includes a cfg2cmd test case with pinned machine version.

...PVE::QemuServer::Machine.
qemu_machine_feature_enabled is exported since it has a *lot* of users
in PVE::QemuServer and a long enough name as it is.
