The ideal way to use qemu-bridge-helper is to give it an fscap of using:
setcap cap_net_admin=ep qemu-bridge-helper
Unfortunately, most distros still do not have a mechanism to package files
with fscaps applied. This means they'll have to SUID the qemu-bridge-helper
binary.
To improve security, use libcap to reduce our capability set to just
cap_net_admin, then reduce privileges down to the calling user. This is
hopefully close to equivalent to fscap support from a security perspective.

This patch adds a helper that can be used to create a tap device attached to
a bridge device. Since this helper is minimal in what it does, it can be
given CAP_NET_ADMIN which allows qemu to avoid running as root while still
satisfying the majority of what users tend to want to do with tap devices.
The way this all works is that qemu launches this helper passing a bridge
name and the name of an inherited file descriptor. The descriptor is one
end of a socketpair() of domain sockets. This domain socket is used to
transmit a file descriptor of the opened tap device from the helper to qemu.
The helper can then exit and let qemu use the tap device.

The test for whether the host CPU is supported had several problems:
* the attempt to fall back to TCI was done as a duplicate
test, very late (so "--cpu foo" would fail early but "--cpu unicore32"
would fail late, differently, and after configure had already
printed a lot of output)
* a number of CPUs only supported as guests were included in the
list of CPUs we would accept as valid hosts, which would result
in a late compile failure on those systems rather than a
configure failure or fallback to TCI
* bailing out for an unsupported CPU happened before the main
option parsing, so "configure --help" wouldn't work
Fix these by folding the setting of ARCH into the first test for
supported host CPU, removing spurious guest-only CPU names from it,
and moving the "fall back to TCI" code earlier.

With this patch, it only takes one test (instead of four)
to detect that there is no Xen support at all.
For most build hosts, this will reduce the time configure needs.
It will also reduce noisy output in config.log.
Build hosts with Xen now need up to five (instead of up to four)
tests. They get improved diagnostics when Xen support fails.

Since commit 1d14ffa97e (in 2005),
QEMU applications on W32 don't use the default SDL compiler flags:
Instead of a GUI application, a console application is created.
This has disadvantages (there is always an empty console window) and
no obvious reason, so this patch removes the strange flag modification.
The SDL GUI applications still can be run from a console window
and even send stdout and stderr to that console by setting environment
variable SDL_STDIO_REDIRECT=no.

test-coroutine is listed as a libcheck test in the 'checks' variable. This
is not right because 'make check' won't run test-coroutine if libcheck
tests are not enabled (either because libcheck isn't detected or because
--disable-check-utests is passed).
Tests using the glib test framework are independent from libcheck and
afaik are always present (although having a configure switch to disable
them is probably worth it).
Untangle test-coroutine from the libcheck tests by introducing the
'test_progs' variable and using it to generate the test list used by
'make check'.

Change the default on x86 Linux hosts to building PIE (position
independent executables); instead of restricting the option to
user-only targets, apply it to all targets.
In addition, set the relocation sections to read-only (relro) when
available; this reduces the attack surface by disallowing changes to
relocation tables at runtime.
While PIE reduces performance and relro increases load time, it
greatly improves security, with the potential to reduce a code
execution vulnerability to a self denial of service.
Non-x86 are not changed, as they require TCG changes; neither are
non-Linux, due to lack of test coverage.
