vl.c: Add '-L help' which lists data dirs.
QEMU compiles a list of data directories from various sources. When consuming a QEMU binary it's useful to be able to get this list of data directories: a primary reason is so you can list what BIOSes or keymaps ship with this version of QEMU. However without reproducing the method that QEMU uses internally, it's not possible to get the list of data directories. This commit adds a simple '-L help' option that just lists out the data directories as qemu calculates them: $ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L help /home/rjones/d/qemu/pc-bios /usr/local/share/qemu $ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L /tmp -L help /tmp /home/rjones/d/qemu/pc-bios /usr/local/share/qemu Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.
