9pfs: deprecate handle backend
This backend raise some concerns: - doesn't support symlinks - fails +100 tests in the PJD POSIX file system test suite [1] - requires the QEMU process to run with the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability, which isn't recommended for security reasons This backend should not be used and wil be removed. The 'local' backend is the recommended alternative. [1] https://www.tuxera.com/community/posix-test-suite/ Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
