[PATCH v4 1/4] docs/system/deprecated: Fix note on fdc drive properties

Commit 4a27a638e7 "fdc: Deprecate configuring floppies with -global isa-fdc" actually deprecated any use of floppy controller driver properties, not just with -global. Correct the deprecation note accordingly. Fixes: 4a27a638e718b445648de6b27c709353551d9b44 Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru(a)redhat.com&gt; Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
