Multiple -machine options with the same ID are merged. All but the
one without an ID are to be silently ignored.
In most places, we query these options with a null ID. This is
correct.
In some places, we instead query whatever options come first in the
list. This is wrong. When the -machine processed first happens to
have an ID, options are taken from that ID, and the ones specified
without ID are silently ignored.
Example:
$ upstream-qemu -nodefaults -S -display none -monitor stdio -machine id=foo -machine accel=kvm,usb=on
$ upstream-qemu -nodefaults -S -display none -monitor stdio -machine id=foo,accel=kvm,usb=on -machine accel=xen
$ upstream-qemu -nodefaults -S -display none -monitor stdio -machine accel=xen -machine id=foo,accel=kvm,usb=on
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none -monitor stdio -machine accel=kvm,usb=on

Option usb is queried correctly, and the one without an ID wins,
regardless of option order.
Option accel is queried incorrectly, and which one wins depends on
option order and ID.
Affected options are accel (and its sugared forms -enable-kvm and
-no-kvm), kernel_irqchip, kvm_shadow_mem.
Additionally, option kernel_irqchip is normally on by default, except
it's off when no -machine options are given. Bug can't bite, because
kernel_irqchip is used only when KVM is enabled, KVM is off by
default, and enabling always creates -machine options. Downstreams
that enable KVM by default do get bitten, though.
Use qemu_get_machine_opts() to fix these bugs.
