The LinuxInitrd.test_with_2gib_file_should_work_with_linux_v4_16 test,
from tests/acceptance/linux_initrd.py, is currently failing to fetch
the "vmlinuz" file. The reason for the failure is that the Fedora
project retires older versions from the "dl.fedoraproject.org" URL,
and keeps them in "archives.fedoraproject.org". As an added note,
that test uses a Fedora 28 image, because of the specific Linux kernel
version requirements of the test.
For the sake of stability, let's use URLs from the archived and
supposedely ever stable URLs. The good news is that the currently
supported versions are also hosted on the later. This change limits
itself to change the URLs, while keeping the fetched files the same
(as can be evidenced by the unchanged hashes).
Documentation and the "vm tests" fedora definition were also updated.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.

Consumers of QEMU need to track feature deprecation. Keeping
deprecation documentation in its own file helps in two small ways:
* You can track changes the easy and obvious way, with git-log.
Before, you had to resort to more complex gittery like "git-log
--oneline -L '/@node Deprecated features/,/@node Supported build
platforms/:qemu-doc.texi'"
* It lets us use MAINTAINERS to copy interested parties on deprecation
patches, so they can advise or object before they're a done deal.
The next commit will do that for libvirt.

Adjust each caller of raw_open_common to specify if they are expecting
host and character devices or not. Tighten expectations of file types upon
open in the common code and refuse types that are not expected.
This has two effects:
(1) Character and block devices are now considered deprecated for the
'file' driver, which expects only S_IFREG, and
(2) no file-posix driver (file, host_cdrom, or host_device) can open
directories now.
I don't think there's a legitimate reason to open directories as if
they were files. This prevents QEMU from opening and attempting to probe
a directory inode, which can break in exciting ways. One of those ways
is lseek on ext4/xfs, which will return 0x7fffffffffffffff as the file
size instead of EISDIR. This can coax QEMU into responding with a
confusing "file too big" instead of "Hey, that's not a file".

Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS
connections than using certificates. It requires only a simple secret
key:
$ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
$ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
$ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk
rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc
The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers. Clients
must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a
username (defaults to "qemu"). Servers must specify only the
directory.
Example NBD client:
$ qemu-img info \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \
--image-opts \
file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/
Example NBD server using qemu-nbd:
$ qemu-nbd -t -x / \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
--tls-creds tls0 \
image.qcow2

We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.
Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

The qemu-doc already states that this option is only maintained for
backward compatibility and "-device virtconsole" should be used
instead. So let's take the next step and mark this option officially
as deprecated.

The TARGET_BASE_ARCH values from "configure" don't all map to the
@CpuInfoArch enum constants; in particular "s390x" from the former does
not match @s390 in the latter. Clients are known to rely on the @s390
constant specifically, so we can't change it silently. Instead, deprecate
the @CpuInfoFast.@arch member (in favor of @CpuInfoFast.@target) using the
regular deprecation process.
(No deprecation reminder is added to sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch(): once
@CpuInfoFast.@arch is removed, the assignment expression that calls
sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch() from qmp_query_cpus_fast() will have to
disappear; in turn the static function left without callers will also
break the build, thus it'll have to go.)

The current docs for TLS assume only VNC is using TLS. Some of the information
is also outdated (ie lacking subject alt name info for certs). Rewrite it to
more accurately reflect the current situation.

The deprecated SLIRP options -tftp, -bootp, -redir, -smb provide
sample replacements that use "-net nic". Suggest "-nic" instead,
since we finally have a path towards getting rid of "-net".
For "-net vlan" the replacement involves hubport network devices,
so mention that too.

There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the
the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"
instead.

These options have been marked in a comment in qemu-options.hx as
deprecated in 2009 already (see commit 1ed2fc1fa3), but we
never informed the users about these deprecations. Let's catch up

Automatic creation of SCSI controllers for "-drive if=scsi" for x86
machines was quite a bad idea (see description of commit f778a82f0c
for details). This is marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, and as
far as I know, nobody complained that this is still urgently required
anymore. Time to remove this now.

They are deprecated since QEMU v2.10, and so far nobody complained that
these commands are still necessary for any reason - and since you can use
'netdev_add' and 'netdev_remove' instead, there also should not be any
real reason. Since they are also standing in the way for the upcoming
'vlan' clean-up, it's now time to remove them.
