python/qemu: make 'args' style arguments immutable

These arguments don't need to be mutable and aren't really used as
such. Clarify their types as immutable and adjust code to match where
necessary.

In general, It's probably best not to accept a user-defined mutable
object and store it as internal object state unless there's a strong
justification for doing so. Instead, try to use generic types as input
with empty tuples as the default, and coerce to list where necessary.
