numa: deprecate implict memory distribution between nodes

Browse Source 
Implicit RAM distribution between nodes has exactly the same issues as:
  "numa: deprecate 'mem' parameter of '-numa node' option"
only with QEMU being the user that's 'adding' 'mem' parameter.

Deprecate it, to get it out of the way so that we could consolidate
guest RAM allocation using memory backends making it consistent and
possibly later on transition to using memory devices instead of
adhoc memory mapping for the initial RAM.

@subsection -numa node (without memory specified) (since 4.1)
Splitting RAM by default between NUMA nodes has the same issues as @option{mem}
parameter described above with the difference that the role of the user plays
QEMU using implicit generic or board specific splitting rule.
Use @option{memdev} with @var{memory-backend-ram} backend or @option{mem} (if
it's supported by used machine type) to define mapping explictly instead.
