Since commit aa35ec2213b ("hw/arm/raspi: Use more
specific machine names") the raspi2/raspi3 machines
have been renamed as raspi2b/raspi3b.
As more Raspberry Pi 2/3 models are emulated, in order
to avoid confusion deprecate the raspi2/raspi3 machine
aliases.

These machine types are very old and likely can not be used for live migration
from old QEMU versions anymore. A newer machine type should be used instead.

libvirt doesn't do any interpretation for these machine types, so we
don't need to add any compatibility. Obviously users of these machine
types might end up with broken configs if they were using them, but
that's qemu's decision.
