New deployments should use the Rust version, and existing systems
should consider moving to it. The command line and feature set
is very close and moving should be simple.

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.
