Re: [PATCH v2 10/10] hmp: Deprecate 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo

The 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo has never done what the QMP documentation claims it does. What it actually reports is whether TCG is working in "one guest instruction per translation block" mode. Create a new 'one-insn-per-tb' member whose name matches what the field actually does and the new command line options. Deprecate the old 'singlestep' field.
