I guess this may affect the qemu driver in future ... Thanks to
Markus Armbruster for bringing this to my/our attention.

Deprecate -M command line options
Superseded by -machine. Therefore, this patch removes -M from the help
list and pushes -machine at the same place in the output.

Generalize -machine command line option
-machine somehow suggests that it selects the machine, but it doesn't.
Fix that before this command is set in stone.
Actually, -machine should supersede -M and allow to introduce arbitrary
per-machine options to the command line. That will change the internal
realization again, but we will be able to keep the user interface
stable.
Rich.
