This is just as bad as parsing -help output IMHO.
The problem with something like this is that it discourages people from
using proper APIs to get at capabilities information.
What about a query-qemuopts instead? This has a well-defined schema
and, while it won't let you get all arguments, going forward libvirt is
going to try and use more qemuopts options and only the bare minimum
legacy options (-incoming, -S).
