conf: Add target type and model for pl011
We can finally introduce a specific target model for the pl011 device
used by mach-virt guests, which means isa-serial will no longer show
up to confuse users.
We make sure migration works in both directions by interpreting the
isa-serial target type, or the lack of target type, appropriately
when parsing the guest XML, and skipping the newly-introduced type
when formatting if for migration. We also verify that pl011 is not
used for non-mach-virt guests and add a bunch of test cases.

If a serial console is added to a mach-virt guest with <console type='pty'> <target type='serial'/> </console> the <serial> element auto-generated by libvirt will look like <serial type='pty'> <target type='isa-serial' port='0'/> </serial> While the serial console will work thanks to workarounds present in the code, isa-serial is clearly the incorrect type (mach-virt guests don't have an ISA bus) and a more appropriate type should be used instead.
