Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to
extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts.
However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more
limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration
by hand in the first place. In addition, -writeconfig does
not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since
qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping.
Just remove it.

It's likely broken, and nobody cared for picking it up again
during the deprecation phase, so let's remove this now.
Since this is the last entry in deprecated_targets_list, remove
the related code in the configure script, too.

This option was just a wrapper around the -display ...,window-close=off
parameter, and the name "no-quit" is rather confusing compared to
"window-close" (since there are still other means to quit the emulator),
so let's remove this now.

There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z"
in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better
to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate
something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove
something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to
standardize on.
So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and
unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".

Now that we have a single Sphinx manual rather than multiple manuals,
we can provide a better place for "common to all of QEMU" information
like the deprecation notices, build platforms, license information,
which we currently have in the system/ manual even though it applies
to all of QEMU.
Create a new directory about/ on the same level as system/, user/,
etc, and move these documents there.
