Description
Virtio queue counts/lengths are guest-visible parameters, and so when live-migrating guests (particularly during update) we need to ensure that the migration target correctly replicates the original queue configuration.
Related to #930/#935.

Research direction
Start by reading this issue and the related issues #930 and #935. Trace the instance-create, update, and live-migration paths that handle virtio queue counts and lengths, then determine how the original guest-visible configuration can be negotiated or replicated. Done means the create-time configuration and migration target behavior are defined and covered by appropriate tests.
