When VERSION is set to a development snapshot (micro >= 50), or a release candidate (micro >= 90) we have an off-by-1 in determining deprecation and deletion thresholds for versioned machine types. In such cases we need to use the next major/minor version in threshold checks.
This adapts the deprecation macros to do "next version" prediction when seeing a dev/rc version number.
This ensures users of release candidates get an accurate view of machines that will be deprecated/deleted in the final release.
This requires hardcoding our current release policy of 3 releases per year, with a major bump at the start of each year, and that dev/rc versions have micro >= 50.

FYI, this causes a failure in the CI now:
Ah, just noticed the same error msg: qemu-system-x86_64: unsupported machine type: "pc-q35-4.1"
Looks like we have to remove the related subtest now?
Hmmm shouldn't we merge this series on top of up-to-4.1 machines removal?
