The same way the arch tag is being used as a fallback for the arch
parameter, let's do the same for QEMU's machine and avoid some boiler
plate code.
This is now possible because, since Avocado 72.0, it's possible to use
tags with names that match the machine types on QEMU.

The default vm provided by the test, available as self.vm, serves the
same purpose of the one obtained by self.get_vm(), but saves a line
and matches the style of other tests.

The justifications being automatic destruction of the vm instances
when no longer needed and more compact test naming under a common
class.
Besides those, a smaller test makes the one and only assertion rather
obvious, which suggests that we could even get rid of the more verbose
(and manual) error messages (to be decided).
Naming of the tests tries to follow the following pattern:
test_($cpu_version)_($no_arch_capabitilies_set_or_unset)_($machine_version)
The presence of each naming component is optional, depending on
whether the test manually sets it or not.

This shuts down the VMs that won't be used any longer during the
remainder of the test.
It's debatable if the very last one should also be shutdown manually,
and my opinion is that it shouldn't because that's taken care by the
immediately following tearDown().

Add new version of Cascadelake-Server CPU model, setting
stepping=5 and enabling the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR
with some flags.
The new feature will introduce a new host software requirement,
breaking our CPU model runnability promises. This means we can't
enable the new CPU model version by default in QEMU 4.1, because
management software isn't ready yet to resolve CPU model aliases.
This is why "pc-*-4.1" will keep returning Cascadelake-Server-v1
if "-cpu Cascadelake-Server" is specified.
Includes a test case to ensure the right combinations of
machine-type + CPU model + command-line feature flags will work
as expected.

This will make unversioned CPU models behavior depend on the
machine type:
* "pc-*-4.0" and older will not report them as aliases.
This is done to keep compatibility with older QEMU versions
after management software starts translating aliases.
* "pc-*-4.1" will translate unversioned CPU models to -v1.
This is done to keep compatibility with existing management
software, that still relies on CPU model runnability promises.
* "none" will translate unversioned CPU models to their latest
version. This is planned become the default in future machine
types (probably in pc-*-4.3).

Add support for registration of multiple versions of CPU models.
The existing CPU models will be registered with a "-v1" suffix.
The -noTSX, -IBRS, and -IBPB CPU model variants will become
versions of the original models in a separate patch, so
make sure we register no versions for them.
