virtio-pci: Fix cross-version migration with older machines
This patch fixes a cross-version migration regression introduced
by commit d1b4259f ("virtio-bus: Plug devices after features are
negotiated").
The problem is encountered when host's vhost backend does not support
VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1, and migration is initiated from a v2.7 or prior
machine with virtio-pci modern capabilities enabled to a v2.8 machine.
In this case, modern capabilities get exposed to the guest by the source,
whereas the target will detect version 1 is not supported so will only
expose legacy capabilities.
The problem is fixed by introducing a new "x-ignore-backend-features"
property, which is set in v2.7 and prior compatibility modes. Doing this,
v2.7 machine keeps its broken behaviour (enabling modern while version
is not supported), and newer machines will behave correctly.
