hw/core/machine-smp: Deprecate unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations

Browse Source 
Currently, it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
topology parameter as "1". For example, x86 PC machine doesn't
support drawer/book/cluster topology levels, but user could specify
"-smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1".

This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind of
configurations is marked deprecated since 9.0. And report warning
message for such case like:

qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
                    Unsupported clusters parameter mustn't be specified as 1
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
                    Unsupported books parameter mustn't be specified as 1
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
                    Unsupported drawers parameter mustn't be specified as 1

Users have to ensure that all the topology members described with -smp
are supported by the target machine.

``-smp`` (Unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations) (since 9.0)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Specified CPU topology parameters must be supported by the machine.
In the SMP configuration, users should provide the CPU topology parameters that
are supported by the target machine.
However, historically it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
topology parameter as "1", which is meaningless. So support for this kind of
configurations (e.g. -smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1 for x86 PC machine) is
marked deprecated since 9.0, users have to ensure that all the topology members
described with -smp are supported by the target machine.
