qemu 1:2.4+dfsg-4ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

qemu (1:2.4+dfsg-4ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge 2.4 from unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - Update the ubuntu machine types patch to reflect upstream churn
    - debian/rules: do not drop the init scripts loading kvm modules
      (still needed in precise in cloud archive)
    - qemu-system-common.postinst:
      * remove acl placed by udev, and add udevadm trigger.
      * reload kvm_intel if needed to set nested=1
    - qemu-system-common.preinst: add kvm group if needed
    - add qemu-kvm upstart job and defaults file (rules,
      qemu-system-x86.qemu-kvm.default, qemu-system-x86.qemu-kvm.upstart)
    - rules,qemu-system-x86.modprobe: support use under older udevs which
      do not auto-load the kvm kernel module.  Enable nesting by default
      on intel.
    - d/p/ubuntu/expose-vmx_qemu64cpu.patch: enable nested kvm by default
      in qemu64 cpu type.
    - d/p/ubuntu/define-trusty-machine-type.patch: define a default trusty
      machine type to ease future live vm migration.
    - apport hook for qemu source package: d/source_qemu-kvm.py,
      d/qemu-system-common.install
    - Make qemu-system-common and qemu-utils depend on qemu-block-extra
      to fix errors with missing block backends. (LP: #1495895)
    - control-in: build with libseccomp an all architectures.
  * Add vGICv3 support
