To get rid of the "via Devel" part in git commit's Author: field,

Implement a new iommufd attribute under hostdevs' PCI
subsystem driver that can be used to specify associated
iommufd object when launching a qemu VM.


Also, I've applied most of the stuff I say here in my branch,
mostly to see if they are possible:
https://gitlab.com/janotomko/libvirt/-/tree/iommufd?ref_type=heads
git fetch https://gitlab.com/janotomko/libvirt.git iommufd

Formatting the iommufd object should be in a separate function, e.g.
qemuBuildIOMMUFDCommandLine, not here in qemuBuildHostdevCommandLine.

Moving it out also fixes the memory leak caused by reusal of 'props'
without freeing them.
