audio: extend -audio to allow creating a default backend

If "-audio BACKEND" is used without a model, the resulting backend
will be used whenever the audiodev property is not specified.

``-audio [driver=]driver,model=value[,prop[=value][,...]]``
This option is a shortcut for configuring both the guest audio
hardware and the host audio backend in one go.
The driver option is the same as with the corresponding ``-audiodev`` option below.
The guest hardware model can be set with ``model=modelname``.
Use ``driver=help`` to list the available drivers,
and ``model=help`` to list the available device types.
``-audio [driver=]driver[,model=value][,prop[=value][,...]]``
If the ``model`` option is specified, ``-audio`` is a shortcut
for configuring both the guest audio hardware and the host audio
backend in one go. The guest hardware model can be set with
``model=modelname``. Use ``model=help`` to list the available
device types.
The following two example do exactly the same, to show how ``-audio``
can be used to shorten the command line length:

If the ``model`` option is not specified, ``-audio`` is used to
configure a default audio backend that will be used whenever the
``audiodev`` property is not set on a device or machine. In
particular, ``-audio none`` ensures that no audio is produced even
for machines that have embedded sound hardware.
In both cases, the driver option is the same as with the corresponding
``-audiodev`` option below. Use ``driver=help`` to list the available
drivers.
