migration: Deprecate query-migrationthreads command
Per previous discussion [1,2], this patch deprecates query-migrationthreads
command.
To summarize, the major reason of the deprecation is due to no sensible way
to consume the API properly:
(1) The reported list of threads are incomplete (ignoring destination
threads and non-multifd threads).
(2) For CPU pinning, there's no way to properly pin the threads with
the API if the threads will start running right away after migration
threads can be queried, so the threads will always run on the default
cores for a short window.
(3) For VM debugging, one can use "-name $VM,debug-threads=on" instead,
which will provide proper names for all migration threads.
