audio: -audiodev command line option: documentation
This patch adds documentation of an -audiodev command line option, that deprecates the old QEMU_* environment variables for audio backend configuration. It's syntax is similar to existing options (-netdev, -device, etc): -audiodev driver_name,property=value,... Although now it's possible to specify multiple -audiodev options on command line, multiple audio backends are not supported yet.

+The ``-audiodev'' argument is now the preferred way to specify audio
+backend settings instead of environment variables. To ease migration to
