The interface is ambiguous, as "no" is valid file name. So, using "no" as a special value to disable script is deprecated. Use an empty string ("script=" / "downscript=") instead. In a future version, "no" will be treated as a plain file name, just like any other non-empty value. Document the deprecation in docs/about/deprecated.rst, qapi/net.json, and qemu-options.hx. Update other docs to use empty string instead of "no". Add a warning.
