A new option, -nodefconfig is introduced to prevent loading from the default
config location.  Otherwise, two configuration files will be searched for,
qemu.conf and target-<TARGET_NAME>.conf.

The ordering is a little troubling.  Command line options are parsed before
loading the default configs which means that the command line configs will be
loaded before the default config.  The effect is that the default config will
override -readconfig directives.

It's unclear the best way to handle this.

Maybe we need two passes over the command line options?

-confdir and -nodefconfig switches would be handled in the first pass, 
then read the global config files (unless disabled), then the second pass.

I think we could also make the default device handling less messy that 
way by checking -nographic and -nodefaults in the first pass too. 
Having the machine type (-M) read in the first pass could allow some 
cleanups too.

cheers,
