Add deprecation message to the audio init function.
Factor out audio initialization and call that from both audio init and realize, so setting audiodev via -global is enough to properly initialize pcspk.

While "-soundhw pcspk" is quite easy to use for the average user, I think the "-global" options will be quite hard to figure out, especially once this deprecation message got removed again when -soundhw has been deleted. Could you maybe add a description how to configure the pc-speaker to docs/system/target-i386-desc.rst.inc, too? Thanks, Thomas
