A number of deprecated QMP arguments and results were missed in commit
eb22aeca65 "docs: document deprecation policy & deprecated features in
appendix" (v2.10.0):
* Commit b33945cfff "block: Accept device model name for
blockdev-open/close-tray" (v2.8.0) deprecated blockdev-open-tray,
blockdev-close-tray argument @device.
* Commit fbe2d8163e "block: Accept device model name for eject"
(v2.8.0) deprecated eject argument @device.
* Commit 70e2cb3bd7 "block: Accept device model name for
blockdev-change-medium" (v2.8.0) deprecated blockdev-change-medium
argument @device.
* Commit 7a9877a026 "block: Accept device model name for
block_set_io_throttle" (v2.8.0) deprecated block_set_io_throttle
argument @device.
* Commit c01c214b69 "block: remove all encryption handling APIs"
(v2.10.0) deprecated query-named-block-nodes result
@encryption_key_missing and query-block result @inserted member
@encryption_key_missing.
* Commit c42e8742f5 "block: Use JSON null instead of "" to disable
backing file" (v2.10.0) deprecated blockdev-add empty string
argument @backing.
Since then, we missed a few more:
* Commit 3c605f4074 "commit: Add top-node/base-node options" (v3.1.0)
deprecated block-commit arguments @base and @top.
* Commit 4db6ceb0b5 "block/dirty-bitmap: add recording and busy
properties" (v4.0.0) deprecated query-named-block-nodes result
@dirty-bitmaps member @status, not just query-block.
Make up for all that.

Server class POWER CPUs have a "compat" property, which was obsoleted
by commit 7843c0d60d and replaced by a "max-cpu-compat" property on the
pseries machine type. A hack was introduced so that passing "compat" to
-cpu would still produce the desired effect, for the sake of backward
compatibility : it strips the "compat" option from the CPU properties
and applies internally it to the pseries machine. The accessors of the
"compat" property were updated to do nothing but warn the user about the
deprecated status when doing something like:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -global POWER9-family-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power9
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: CPU 'compat' property is deprecated and has no
effect; use max-cpu-compat machine property instead
This was merged during the QEMU 2.10 timeframe, a few weeks before we
formalized our deprecation process. As a consequence, the "compat"
property fell through the cracks and was never listed in the officialy
deprecated features.
We are now eight QEMU versions later, it is largely time to mention it
in qemu-deprecated.texi. Also, since -global XXX-powerpc64-cpu.compat=
has been emitting warnings since QEMU 2.10 and the usual way of setting
CPU properties is with -cpu, completely remove the "compat" property.
Keep the hack so that -cpu XXX,compat= stays functional some more time,
as required by our deprecation process.
The now empty powerpc_servercpu_properties[] list which was introduced
for "compat" and never had any other use is removed on the way. We can
re-add it in the future if the need for a server class POWER CPU specific
property arises again.

It's been deprecated since QEMU v3.1.0. Time to finally remove it now.

Reworked Thomas's deprecated.texi to the rst
Mapping object-add to the command line as is doesn't result in nice
syntax because of the nesting introduced with 'props'. This becomes
nicer and more consistent with device_add and netdev_add when we accept
properties for the object on the top level instead.
'props' is still accepted after this patch, but marked as deprecated.

We put the whole of this document into the system manual, though
technically a few parts of it apply to qemu-img or qemu-nbd which are
otherwise documented in tools/.
We only make formatting fixes, except for one use of 'appendix' which
we change to 'section' because this isn't an appendix in the Sphinx
manual.
