Since commit cbe6d6365a48 the command `qemu -accel help` returns
the list of accelerators enabled in the QEMU binary. This adds
the list_accel() method which return that same list.

The degree of changes is certainly subjective, but consider clearing
"Reviewed-by"s, according to:

Alex, Phillipe,

You re-review on this patch is highly appreciated anyway.

This is a "generally frowned upon" naked except, but given that its
goal is to present the error to the user, and that it re-raises the
exception, it's much less frowned upon, so it LGTM.

The ideal use of the logging module log functions is to let them
format the output, passing those values as arguments, ie:

   LOG.debug("Failed to get the list of accelerators in %s", qemu_bin)

See https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.debug

And sorry for failing to catch this on v2.

- Cleber.
