2018-08-15block: Remove deprecated -drive option serialKevin Wolf
This reinstates commit b0083267444a5e0f28391f6c2831a539f878d424, which was temporarily reverted for the 3.0 release so that libvirt gets some extra time to update their command lines. The -drive option serial was deprecated in QEMU 2.10. It's time to remove it. Tests need to be updated to set the serial number with -global instead of using the -drive option.

2018-08-15block: Remove deprecated -drive geometry optionsKevin Wolf
This reinstates commit a7aff6dd10b16b67e8b142d0c94c5d92c3fe88f6, which was temporarily reverted for the 3.0 release so that libvirt gets some extra time to update their command lines. The -drive options cyls, heads, secs and trans were deprecated in QEMU 2.10. It's time to remove them. hd-geo-test tested both the old version with geometry options in -drive and the new one with -device. Therefore the code using -drive doesn't have to be replaced there, we just need to remove the -drive test cases. This in turn allows some simplification of the code.

2018-07-16qemu-doc: Move appendix "Deprecated features" to its own fileMarkus Armbruster
Consumers of QEMU need to track feature deprecation. Keeping deprecation documentation in its own file helps in two small ways: * You can track changes the easy and obvious way, with git-log. Before, you had to resort to more complex gittery like "git-log --oneline -L '/@node Deprecated features/,/@node Supported build platforms/:qemu-doc.texi'" * It lets us use MAINTAINERS to copy interested parties on deprecation patches, so they can advise or object before they're a done deal. The next commit will do that for libvirt.
