8:56 a.m.
Deprecation period is run out and it's a time to flip the switch
introduced by cd5ff8333a. Disable legacy option for new machine
types (since 5.1) and amend documentation.
'-numa node,memdev' shall be used instead of disabled option
with new machine types.

v1:
- rebased on top of current master
- move compat mode from 4.2 to 5.0
v2:
- move deprecation text to recently removed section
v3:
- increase title line length for (deprecated.rst)
'``-numa node,mem=``\ *size* (removed in 5.1)'
v4:
- use error_append_hint() for suggesting valid CLI
v5:
- add "\n" at the end of error_append_hint()
- fix gramar/spelling in moved deprecation text
