qemu|qtest: Avoid dangerous arguments
The list object is mutable in python and potentially might modify other object's arguments when used as default argument. Reproducer: >>> vm1 = QEMUMachine("qemu") >>> vm2 = QEMUMachine("qemu") >>> vm1._wrapper.append("foo") >>> print vm2._wrapper ['foo'] In this case the `args` is actually copied so it would be safe to keep it, but it's not a good practice to keep it. The same issue applies in inherited qtest module.
