Drives defined with if=scsi get connected to buses created with
-device, unlike other interface types.  Deprecate this usage.

There is no good default SCSI HBA for PC machines.  Deprecate if=scsi
there entirely.

Before this series, frontends for -drive if=scsi get created by SCSI
HBAs.  Frontends for other interface types get created by machine
initialization.

After this series, they get created by machine initialization, except
for deprecated cases, which get created by new function
scsi_legacy_handle_cmdline().

Based on "[PATCH v2 0/8] More sensible default for -drive interface
type".

The logic to create frontends for -drive if=scsi is in SCSI HBAs.  For
all other interface types, it's in machine initialization code.

A few machine types create the SCSI HBAs necessary for that.  That's
also not done for other interface types.

I'm going to deprecate these SCSI eccentricities.  In preparation for
that, create the frontends in main() instead of the SCSI HBAs, by
calling new function scsi_legacy_handle_cmdline() there.

Note that not all SCSI HBAs create frontends.  Take care not to change
that.

Block backends defined with "-drive if=T" with T other than "none" are
meant to be picked up by machine initialization code: a suitable
frontend gets created and wired up automatically.

Drives defined with if=scsi are also picked up by SCSI HBAs added with
-device, unlike other interface types.  Deprecate this usage, as follows.

Create the frontends for onboard HBAs in machine initialization code,
exactly like we do for if=ide and other interface types.  Change
scsi_legacy_handle_cmdline() to create a frontend only when it's still
missing, and warn that this usage is deprecated.

  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: pbonzini, peter.maydell, kwolf, mreitz, qemu-block

The PC machines (pc-q35-* pc-i440fx-* pc-* isapc xenfv) automatically
create lsi53c895a SCSI HBAs and SCSI devices to honor -drive if=scsi.
For giggles, try -drive if=scsi,bus=25,media=cdrom --- this makes QEMU
create 25 of them.

lsi53c895a is thoroughly obsolete (PCI Ultra2 SCSI, ca. 2000), and
currently has no maintainer in QEMU.  megasas is a better choice,
except with old OSes that lack drivers.  virtio-scsi is a much better
choice when you have a driver, but only (newish) Linux comes with one
in the box.  There is no good default that works for all guests.

Encourage users to pick a non-obsolete SCSI HBA that works for them by
deprecating -drive if=scsi.

Missing: update doc (qemu-options.hx), and possibly qemu-iotests/051.
Will fix.
