Our command line interface is really quite overcrowded, we should avoid
duplicated options that do the same thing in just a slightly different
way. "-accel hax" is shorter and more generic that "-enable-hax", so
there is really no real usage for the latter option. "-enable-hax" has
been deprecated since two releases, and nobody complained so far, so
it's time to remove this now.

The existing qemu-nbd --partition code claims to handle logical
partitions up to 8, since its introduction in 2008 (commit 7a5ca86).
However, the implementation is bogus (actual MBR logical partitions
form a sort of linked list, with one partition per extended table
entry, rather than four logical partitions in a single extended
table), making the code unlikely to work for anything beyond -P5 on
actual guest images. What's more, the code does not support GPT
partitions, which are becoming more popular, and maintaining device
subsetting in both NBD and the raw device is unnecessary duplication
of effort (even if it is not too difficult).
Note that obtaining the offsets of a partition (MBR or GPT) can be
learned by using 'qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 file.qcow2 && sfdisk --dump
/dev/nbd0', but by the time you've done that, you might as well
just mount /dev/nbd0p1 that the kernel creates for you instead of
bothering with qemu exporting a subset. Or, keeping to just
user-space code, use nbdkit's partition filter, which has already
known both GPT and primary MBR partitions for a while, and was
just recently enhanced to support arbitrary logical MBR parititions.
Start the clock on the deprecation cycle, with examples of how
to accomplish device subsetting without using -P.

not use unique "id"s yet).

In early times, network backends were specified by a "vlan" and "name"
tuple. With the introduction of netdevs, the "name" was replaced by an
"id" (which is supposed to be unique), but the "name" parameter stayed
as an alias which could be used instead of "id". Unfortunately, we miss
the duplication check for "name":
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,name=n1 -net user,name=n1
... starts without an error, while "id" correctly complains:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,id=n1 -net user,id=n1
qemu-system-x86_64: -net user,id=n1: Duplicate ID 'n1' for net
Instead of trying to fix the code for the legacy "name" parameter, let's
rather get rid of this old interface and deprecate the "name" parameter
now - this will also be less confusing for the users in the long run.

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.
