Currently when using SPICE the "password" option provides the password
in plain text on the command line. This is insecure as it is visible
to all processes on the host. As an alternative, the password can be
provided separately via the monitor.
This introduces a "password-secret" option which lets the password be
provided up front.

The "delay" option was introduced as a way to enable Nagle's algorithm
with ",nodelay". Since the short form for boolean options has now been
deprecated, introduce a more properly named "nodelay" option. The "delay"
option remains as an undocumented option.
"delay" and "nodelay" are mutually exclusive. Because the check is
done at consumption time, the code also rejects them if one of the
two is specified via -set.

The possible choices for panic, reset and watchdog actions are inconsistent.
"-action panic=poweroff" should be renamed to "-action panic=shutdown"
on the command line. This is because "-action panic=poweroff" and
"-action watchdog=poweroff" have slightly different semantics, the first
does an unorderly exit while the second goes through qemu_cleanup(). With
this change, -no-shutdown would not have to change "-action panic=pause"
"pause", just like it does not have to change the reset action.
"-action reboot=none" should be renamed to "-action reboot=reset".
This should be self explanatory, since for example "-action panic=none"
lets the guest proceed without taking any action.

The "XVP" (Xen VNC Proxy) extension defines a mechanism for a VNC client
to issue power control requests to trigger graceful shutdown, reboot, or
hard reset.
This option is not enabled by default, since we cannot assume that users
with VNC access implicitly have administrator access to the guest OS.
Thus is it enabled with a boolean "power-control" option e.g.
-vnc :1,power-control=on
While, QEMU can easily support shutdown and reset, there's no easy way
to wire up reboot support at this time. In theory it could be done by
issuing a shutdown, followed by a reset, but there's no convenient
wiring for such a pairing in QEMU. It also isn't possible to have the
VNC server directly talk to QEMU guest agent, since the agent chardev is
typically owned by an external mgmt app.

The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event
is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the
management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/
However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and
Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the
PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash
enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue
running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such
guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot
without intervention of a management layer.
Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received,
by passing:
-action panic=none
in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming
QMP command.

Several command line options currently in use are meant to modify

-no-reboot, -no-shutdown, -watchdog-action.
These can be grouped into a single option of the form:
-action event=action
Which can be used to specify the existing options above in the
following format:
-action reboot=none|shutdown
-action shutdown=poweroff|pause
-action watchdog=reset|shutdown|poweroff|pause|debug|none|inject-nmi
This is done in preparation for adding yet another option of this
type, which modifies the QEMU behavior when a guest panic occurs.

The documentation for the icount documentation has some minor issues:
* in a couple of places it says "sleep=on|off" when in the context of the
sentence it means specifically "sleep=on"
* the synopsis line for the documentation has drifted out of sync
with the synopsis line in the DEF() macro (used for "-help" output)
* the synopsis line in the DEF() macro is missing a "][" between
the sleep= part and the rr= part
* the synopsis line doesn't indicate that rrsnapshot is an optional
part of the rr=mode,rrfile=filename subgrouping
* we don't document that sleep=on can't be used with shift=auto
or align=on
* the rr option description had some minor grammar and formatting
errors and was a bit terse
* in commit f1f4b57e88 in 2015 the documentation of the sleep=
suboption got added between the two paragraphs defining general
behaviour of the icount option. This meant that the second
paragraph talking about the behaviour of "this option" reads as
if it's talking about sleep=on, when it's really describing -icount
as a whole. The paragraph is better moved back up to above the
sleep= section.
* the summary text displayed in "-help" output didn't mention
the record-and-replay part

On the host OS, various aspects of TLS operation are configurable.
In particular it is possible for the sysadmin to control the TLS
cipher/protocol algorithms that applications are permitted to use.
* Any given crypto library has a built-in default priority list
defined by the distro maintainer of the library package (or by
upstream).
* The "crypto-policies" RPM (or equivalent host OS package)
provides a config file such as "/etc/crypto-policies/config",
where the sysadmin can set a high level (library-independent)
policy.
The "update-crypto-policies --set" command (or equivalent) is
used to translate the global policy to individual library
representations, producing files such as
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/*.config". The generated files,
if present, are loaded by the various crypto libraries to
override their own built-in defaults.
For example, the GNUTLS library may read
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config".
* A management application (or the QEMU user) may overide the
system-wide crypto-policies config via their own config, if
they need to diverge from the former.
Thus the priority order is "QEMU user config" > "crypto-policies
system config" > "library built-in config".
Introduce the "tls-cipher-suites" object for exposing the ordered
list of permitted TLS cipher suites from the host side to the
guest firmware, via fw_cfg. The list is represented as an array
of bytes.
The priority at which the host-side policy is retrieved is given
by the "priority" property of the new object type. For example,
"priority=@SYSTEM" may be used to refer to
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config" (given that QEMU
uses GNUTLS).
The firmware uses the IANA_TLS_CIPHER array for configuring
guest-side TLS, for example in UEFI HTTPS Boot.

Deprecation period is run out and it's a time to flip the switch
introduced by cd5ff8333a. Disable legacy option for new machine
types (since 5.1) and amend documentation.
'-numa node,memdev' shall be used instead of disabled option
with new machine types.
