audio: remove QEMU_AUDIO_* and -audio-help support
These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of
-audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's
parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration
of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is
passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures
and pick the first that can be initialized successfully.
The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea,
is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest.
Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default"
audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place,
wav can be excluded directly in that function.
