[PATCH v4 01/22] hw/i386/pc: Deprecate 2.4 to 2.12 pc-i440fx machines
Similarly to the commit c7437f0ddb "docs/about: Mark the old pc-i440fx-2.0 - 2.3 machine types as deprecated", deprecate the 2.4 to 2.12 machines.

FWIW, this patch is potentially obsolete if we go with enforcing a general deprecation policy for all versioned machines: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-05/msg00084.html If this series merges first though, that's fine. My proposal can easily be rebased on top of this.
