4088b55364 qapi/net.json: Fix the version number of the "vlan" removal
"vlan" will be dropped in 2.13, not in 2.12. And while we're at it,
use the better wording "dropped in" instead of "removed with" (also
for the "dump" removal).

af1a5c3eb4 net: Remove the deprecated "vlan" parameter
It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have
been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0"
parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting
guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev
in case hubs are really wanted instead.

857d20873d net: Remove the deprecated way of dumping network packets
"-net dump" has been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.10, since it
only works with the deprecated 'vlan' parameter (or hubs). Network
dumping should be done with "-object filter-dump" nowadays instead.
Since nobody complained so far about the deprecation message, let's
finally get rid of "-net dump" now.

18d65d2258 net: Allow hubports to connect to other netdevs
QEMU can emulate hubs to connect NICs and netdevs. This is currently
primarily used for the mis-named 'vlan' feature of the networking
subsystem. Now the 'vlan' feature has been marked as deprecated, since
its name is rather confusing and the users often rather mis-configure
their network when trying to use it. But while the 'vlan' parameter
should be removed at one point in time, the basic idea of emulating
a hub in QEMU is still good: It's useful for bundling up the output of
multiple NICs into one single l2tp netdev for example.

Now to be able to use the hubport feature without 'vlan's, there is one
missing piece: The possibility to connect a hubport to a netdev, too.
This patch adds this possibility by introducing a new "netdev=..."
parameter to the hubports.

To bundle up the output of multiple NICs into one socket netdev, you can
now run QEMU with these parameters for example:

qemu-system-ppc64 ... -netdev socket,id=s1,connect=:11122 \
    -netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h1,netdev=s1 \
    -netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h2 -device e1000,netdev=h2 \
    -netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h3 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=h3

For using the socket netdev, you have got to start another QEMU as the
receiving side first, for example with network dumping enabled:

qemu-system-x86_64 -M isapc -netdev socket,id=s0,listen=:11122 \
    -device ne2k_isa,netdev=s0 \
    -object filter-dump,id=f1,netdev=s0,file=/tmp/dump.dat

After the ppc64 guest tried to boot from both NICs, you can see in the
dump file (using Wireshark, for example), that the output of both NICs
(the e1000 and the virtio-net-pci) has been successfully transfered
via the socket netdev in this case.
