[PATCH 0/3] Acceptance tests: make better use of machine tags

[Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>]

The "arch" tags applied to acceptance tests, besides allowing a user
to select tests for one specific target architecture, also provides
the the feature of setting the arch to be used if none was given by a
parameter.

This series does the same thing for machine tags.  If a test is tagged
with "machine", its value will be set on the QEMUMachine instances
created/managed by the test.  Hopefully this will eliminate boiler
plate code, and make writing tests more straightforward.

Cleber Rosa (3):
  Acceptance test x86_cpu_model_versions: use default vm
  Acceptance tests: introduce utility method for tags unique vals
  Acceptance Tests: use avocado tags for machine type
