The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently,
with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated
in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records
when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining
what to use instead, if anything.
Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated
features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be
treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the
earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start
of the 2.12.0 cycle.

Since commit 3f2ce724f1 ("Move the qemu-ga description into a
separate chapter"), the qemu.1 man page looks pretty much screwed
up, e.g. the title was "qemu-ga - QEMU Guest Agent" instead of
"qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation". However, that movement
of the gemu-ga chapter is not the real problem, it just triggered
another bug in the qemu-doc.texi: There are some parts in the file
which introduce a "@c man begin OPTIONS" section, but never close
it again with "@c man end". After adding the proper end tags here,
the title of the man page is right again and the previously wrongly
tagged sections now also show up correctly in the man page, too.

RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in
the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, QEMU should not be
using or recommending it as a default mechanism for VNC auth
with SASL.
GSSAPI (Kerberos) is the only other viable SASL mechanism that
can provide secure session encryption so enable that by defalt
as the replacement. If users have TLS enabled for VNC, they can
optionally decide to use SCRAM-SHA-1 instead of GSSAPI, allowing
plain username and password auth.

Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work.
Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other
peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and
reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc.
If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the
shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix
that in qemu-doc.
To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must
assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves
ID assignment unspecified, however.
Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero.
The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first
unused ID.
For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This
does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for
all peers then.

ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability
(a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint
options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user
interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its
doorbell is enabled.
Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and
deprecate the old one.
Changes from ivshmem:
* PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards
compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least
revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared
memory, yet" state.
* Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes
master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of
auto.
* Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs.
Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain:
* The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use
an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA).
* Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev".
* Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev"
instead.
* Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability.
It can't interrupt anyway.
* Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless
without interrupts anyway.
Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell:
* Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability.
* Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off.
* Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared
memory received from the server.
Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for
interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability.
Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to
review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.

This allows to explicitly specify file name to use with the backend. This
is important when using it together with ivshmem in order to make it backed
by hugetlbfs. By default filename is autogenerated using mkstemp(), and the
file is unlink()ed after creation, effectively making it anonymous. This is
not very useful with ivshmem because it ends up in a memory which cannot be
accessed by something else.
Distinction between directory and file name is done by stat() check. If an
existing directory is given, the code keeps old behavior. Otherwise it
creates or opens a file with the given pathname.
