Add new -run-with option with an async-teardown=on|off parameter. It is
visible in the output of query-command-line-options QMP command, so it
can be discovered and used by libvirt.
The option -async-teardown is now redundant, deprecate it.

In commit 5242876f37ca we deprecated the dtb-kaslr-seed property of
the virt board, but forgot the "since n.n" tag in the documentation
of this in deprecated.rst.
This deprecation note first appeared in the 7.1 release, so
retrospectively add the correct "since 7.1" annotation to it.

This reverts commit 1d0a8eba38cdddd028ea02c6e0b68f0a4c9a3cbf.
The commit made the wrong assumption that 64-bit distros are most
common these days on arm devices, but as Liviu Ionescu pointed out,
the recommended OS for the very popular Raspberry Pi boards is still
the 32-bit variant, and thus likely still used by a lot of people:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
Thus it's likely still a little bit too early to put this host
environment on the deprecation list and we should wait a little
bit longer 'til 64-bit distros are the predominant ones.

For running QEMU in system emulation mode, the user needs a rather
strong host system, i.e. not only an embedded low-frequency controller.
All recent beefy arm host machines should support 64-bit now, it's
unlikely that anybody is still seriously using QEMU on a 32-bit arm
CPU, so we deprecate the 32-bit arm hosts here to finally save use
some time and precious CI minutes.

For long-term distributions that release a new version only very
seldom, we limit the support to five years after the initial release.
Otherwise, we might need to support distros like openSUSE 15 for
up to 7 or even more years in total due to our "two more years
after the next major release" rule, which is just way too much to
handle in a project like QEMU that only has limited human resources.

Historically, the critical dependency for both building and running
QEMU has been the distro packages. Because QEMU is written in C and C's
package management has been tied to distros (at least if you do not want
to bundle libraries with the binary, otherwise I suppose you could use
something like conda or wrapdb), C dependencies of QEMU would target the
version that is shipped in relatively old but still commonly used distros.
For non-C libraries, however, the situation is different, as these
languages have their own package management tool (cpan, pip, gem, npm,
and so on). For some of these languages, the amount of dependencies
for even a simple program can easily balloon to the point that many
distros have given up on packaging non-C code. For this reason, it has
become increasingly normal for developers to download dependencies into
a self-contained local environment, instead of relying on distro packages.
Fortunately, this affects QEMU only at build time, as qemu.git does
not package non-C artifacts such as the qemu.qmp package; but still,
as we make more use of Python, we experience a clash between a support
policy that is written for the C world, and dependencies (both direct
and indirect) that increasingly do not care for the distro versions
and are quick at moving past Python runtime versions that are declared
end-of-life.
For example, Python 3.6 has been EOL'd since December 2021 and Meson 0.62
(released the following March) already dropped support for it. Yet,
Python 3.6 is the default version of the Python runtime for RHEL/CentOS
8 and SLE 15, respectively the penultimate and the most recent version
of two distros that QEMU would like to support. (It is also the version
used by Ubuntu 18.04, but QEMU stopped supporting it in April 2022).
There are good reasons to move forward with the deprecation of Python
3.6 in QEMU as well: completing the configure->meson switch (which
requires Meson 0.63), and making the QAPI generator fully typed (which
requires newer versions of not just mypy but also Python, due to PEP563).
Fortunately, these long-term support distros do include newer versions of
the Python runtime. However, these more recent runtimes only come with
a very small subset of the Python packages that the distro includes.
Because most dependencies are optional tests (avocado, mypy, flake8)
and Meson is bundled with QEMU, the most noticeably missing package is
Sphinx (and the readthedocs theme). There are four possibilities:
* we change the support policy and stop supporting CentOS 8 and SLE 15;
not a good idea since CentOS 8 is not an unreasonable distro for us to
want to continue to support
* we keep supporting Python 3.6 until CentOS 8 and SLE 15 stop being
supported. This is a possibility---but we may want to revise the support
policy anyway because SLE 16 has not even been released, so this would
mean delaying those desirable reasons for perhaps three years;
* we support Python 3.6 just for building documentation, i.e. we are
careful not to use Python 3.7+ features in our Sphinx extensions but are
free to use them elsewhere. Besides being more complicated to understand
for developers, this can be quite limiting; parts of the QAPI generator
run at sphinx-build time, which would exclude one of the areas which
would benefit from a newer version of the runtime;
* we only support Python 3.7+, which means CentOS 8 CI and users
have to either install Sphinx from pip or disable documentation.
This proposed update to the support policy chooses the last of these
possibilities. It does by modifying three aspects of the support
policy:
* it introduces different support periods for *native* vs. *non-native*
dependencies. Non-native dependencies are currently Python ones only,
and for simplicity the policy only mentions Python; however, the concept
generalizes to other languages with a well-known upstream package
manager, that users of older distributions can fetch dependencies from;
* it opens up the possibility of taking non-native dependencies from their
own package index instead of using the version in the distribution. The
wording right now is specific to dependencies that are only required at
build time. In the future we may have to refine it if, for example, parts
of QEMU will be written in Rust; in that case, crates would be handled
in a similar way to submodules and vendored in the release tarballs.
* it mentions specifically that optional build dependencies are excluded
from the platform policy. Tools such as mypy don't affect the ability
to build QEMU and move fast enough that distros cannot standardize on
a single version of them (for example RHEL9 does not package them at
all, nor does it run them at rpmbuild time). In other cases, such as
cross compilers, we have alternatives.
Right now, non-native dependencies have to be download manually by
running "pip" before "configure". In the future, it will be desirable
for configure to set up a virtual environment and download them in the
same way that it populates git submodules (but, in this case, without
vendoring them in the release tarballs).
Just like with submodules, this would make things easier for people
that can afford accessing the network in their build environment; the
option to populate the build environment manually would remain for
people whose build machines lack network access. The change to the
support policy neither requires nor forbids this future change.

It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host
architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS
which supports fewer architectures. For now:
- mark it's deprecation in the docs
- downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only
- drop the cross builds from our CI
Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take
their chances building it.

Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config
file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons,
but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future
version of QEMU.
This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé,
with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan.
And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help"
since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard
character of the shells.

These changes match those made in the following libvirt commits:
2ac78307af docs: Clarify our stance on backported packages
78cffd450a docs: Spell out our policy concerning minor releases
Since QEMU's platform support policy is based on libvirt's, it
makes sense to mirror these recent changes made to the latter.
The policy is not altered significantly - we're simply spelling
out some rules that were likely already being implicitly
enforced.

Commit cf60ccc3306c ("cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism") introduced
a Python script to populate a bundle directory using os.symlink() to
point to the binaries in the pc-bios directory of the source tree.
Commit 882084a04ae9 ("datadir: Use bundle mechanism") removed previous
logic in pc-bios/meson.build to create a link/copy of pc-bios binaries
in the build tree so os.symlink() is the way to go.
However os.symlink() may fail [1] on Windows if an unprivileged Windows
user started the QEMU build process, which results in QEMU executables
generated in the build tree not able to load the default BIOS/firmware
images due to symbolic links not present in the bundle directory.
This commits updates the documentation by adding such caveats for users
who want to build QEMU on the Windows platform.

Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.
It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
the executables.
Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on
such an old system.

In 60592cfed2 ("hw/arm/virt: dt: add kaslr-seed property"), the
kaslr-seed property was added, but the equally as important rng-seed
property was forgotten about, which has identical semantics for a
similar purpose. This commit implements it in exactly the same way as
kaslr-seed. It then changes the name of the disabling option to reflect
that this has more to do with randomness vs determinism, rather than
something particular about kaslr.

We cannot provide auto-generated unique or persistent namespace
identifiers (EUI64, NGUID, UUID) easily. Since 6.1, namespaces have been
assigned a generated EUI64 of the form "52:54:00:<namespace counter>".
This is will be unique within a QEMU instance, but not globally.
Revert that this is assigned automatically and immediately deprecate the
compatibility parameter. Users can opt-in to this with the
`eui64-default=on` device parameter or set it explicitly with
`eui64=UINT64`.

We have "-sdl" and "-curses", but no "-gtk" and no "-cocoa" ...
these old-style options are rather confusing than helpful nowadays.
Now that the deprecation period is over, let's remove them, so we
get a cleaner interface (where "-display" is the only way to select
the user interface).

Our support statement for Windows currently talks about "Vista / Server
2008" - which is related to the API of Windows, and this is not easy
to understand for the non-technical users. Additionally, glib sets the
_WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0601 already, which indicates the Windows 7 API,
so QEMU effectively depends on the Windows 7 API, too.
Thus let's bump the _WIN32_WINNT setting in QEMU to the same level as
glib uses and adjust our support statement in the documentation to
something similar that we're using for Linux and the *BSD systems
(i.e. only the two most recent versions), which should hopefully be
easier to understand for the users now.
And since we're nowadays also compile-testing QEMU with MSYS2 on Windows
itself, I think we could mention this build environment here, too.

-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as
-soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an
audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that
it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding
the audiodev to the codec device.
In the future, it could be extended to support default models or
builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now,
keep it simple.
