[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] monitor: deprecate acl_show, acl_reset, acl_policy, acl_add, acl_remove

The various ACL related commands are obsolete now that the QAuthZ framework for authorization is fully integrated throughout QEMU network services. These only ever worked with VNC and were never used by libvirt. Mark it as deprecated with no direct replacement to be provided. Authorization is now provided by using 'object_add' together with the 'tls-authz' or 'sasl-authz' parameters to the VNC server, and equivalent for other network services.
