cpu: Introduce CPU model deprecation API
Implement the ability of marking some versions deprecated. When that CPU model is chosen, print a warning. The warning message can be customized, e.g. suggesting an alternative CPU model to be used instead. The deprecation message will be printed by x86_cpu_list_entry(), e.g. '-cpu help'. QMP command 'query-cpu-definitions' will return a bool value indicating the deprecation status.
