Update qemu-kvm subpackages layout to be closer to Fedora

As RHEL/CentOS and Fedora packaging is independent, there's big difference in subpackages layout. This can confuse users switching from Fedora to RHEL/CentOS. It is not possible to have exact layout in all products due to different package configuration. However, we can make the layout similar.

To do this, following changes are introduced in this MR:

  • Rename qemu-kvm-hw-usbredir to qemu-kvm-device-usb-redirect
  • Split qemu-kvm-ui-opengl package into qemu-kvm-ui-opengl and qemu-kvm-ui-egl-headless
  • Ship virtio-gpu-* and virtio-vga-* modules in separate subpackages
  • Ship module for usb-host in separate modules
  • Ship qtest accel module in tests subpackage instead of core

With all these changes we will not ship modules in core or common package except accel-tcg- module that will be shipped in core package.It is shipped in arch core package in Fedore but we do not have such subpackage in RHEL/CentOS as we do not support cross-platform virtualization.
