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.
