It's 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 we should
rather tell our users to use the "window-close" parameter instead.
While we're at it, update the documentation to state that
"-no-quit" is available for GTK, too, not only for SDL.

According to the QAPI schema, there is a "-" and not a "_" between
"window" and "close", and we're also talking about "window-close"
in the long parameter description in qemu-options.hx, so we should
make sure that we rather use the variant with the "-" by default
instead of only allowing the one with the "_" here. The old way
still stays enabled for compatibility, but we deprecate it, so that
we can switch to a QAPIfied parameter one day more easily.

Type 41 defines the attributes of devices that are onboard. The
original intent was to imply the BIOS had some level of control over
the enablement of the associated devices.
If network devices are present in this table, by default, udev will
name the corresponding interfaces enoX, X being the instance number.
Without such information, udev will fallback to using the PCI ID and
this usually gives ens3 or ens4. This can be a bit annoying as the
name of the network card may depend on the order of options and may
change if a new PCI device is added earlier on the commande line.
Being able to provide SMBIOS type 41 entry ensure the name of the
interface won't change and helps the user guess the right name without
booting a first time.
This can be invoked with:
$QEMU -netdev user,id=internet
-device virtio-net-pci,mac=50:54:00:00:00:42,netdev=internet,id=internet-dev \
-smbios type=41,designation='Onboard LAN',instance=1,kind=ethernet,pcidev=internet-dev
The PCI segment is assumed to be 0. This should hold true for most
cases.

New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated
interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the
management interfaces. It is experimental.
-compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept
silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error).
-compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on
unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts).
Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented
later in this series.
For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff
tagged with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover
semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of -compat: it's not visible output of query-qmp-schema or
query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for
testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

The possible choices for panic, reset and watchdog actions are inconsistent.
"-action panic=poweroff" should be renamed to "-action panic=shutdown"
on the command line. This is because "-action panic=poweroff" and
"-action watchdog=poweroff" have slightly different semantics, the first
does an unorderly exit while the second goes through qemu_cleanup(). With
this change, -no-shutdown would not have to change "-action panic=pause"
"pause", just like it does not have to change the reset action.
"-action reboot=none" should be renamed to "-action reboot=reset".
This should be self explanatory, since for example "-action panic=none"
lets the guest proceed without taking any action.

The "XVP" (Xen VNC Proxy) extension defines a mechanism for a VNC client
to issue power control requests to trigger graceful shutdown, reboot, or
hard reset.
This option is not enabled by default, since we cannot assume that users
with VNC access implicitly have administrator access to the guest OS.
Thus is it enabled with a boolean "power-control" option e.g.
-vnc :1,power-control=on
While, QEMU can easily support shutdown and reset, there's no easy way
to wire up reboot support at this time. In theory it could be done by
issuing a shutdown, followed by a reset, but there's no convenient
wiring for such a pairing in QEMU. It also isn't possible to have the
VNC server directly talk to QEMU guest agent, since the agent chardev is
typically owned by an external mgmt app.

The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event
is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the
management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/
However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and
Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the
PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash
enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue
running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such
guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot
without intervention of a management layer.
Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received,
by passing:
-action panic=none
in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming
QMP command.

suboption got added between the two paragraphs defining general
behaviour of the icount option. This meant that the second
paragraph talking about the behaviour of "this option" reads as
if it's talking about sleep=on, when it's really describing -icount
as a whole. The paragraph is better moved back up to above the
sleep= section.
* the summary text displayed in "-help" output didn't mention
the record-and-replay part
Fix these errors.

The man page does not contain all the chapters from the System Emulation
Users Guide, so some of the links that we've put into the qemu options
descriptions can not be resolved and thus the link names are used in the
man pages instead. These link names currently contain weird "_005f" letters
in the middle and just do not make any sense for the users. To avoid this
situation, replace the link names with more descriptive, natural text.

The option has never been mentioned in our documentation, it's been
deprecated since years, it's marked with QEMU_ARCH_I386 (which does
not make sense anymore since KVM is available on other architectures,
too), it does not do anything by default in upstream QEMU (since TCG
is the default here anyway), and we're spending too much precious time
each year discussing whether it makes sense to keep this option as a
nice suger or not... let's finally put an end on this and remove it.
