    hw/core/machine-smp: Deprecate unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations

but is not done as a 'git revert' since the part of the changes to the
file hw/core/machine-smp.c which add 'has_XXX' checks remain desirable.
Furthermore, we have to tweak the subsequently added unit test to
account for differing warning message.

The rationale for the original deprecation was:

  "Currently, it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
   topology parameter as "1". For example, x86 PC machine doesn't
   support drawer/book/cluster topology levels, but user could specify
   "-smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1".

   This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind
   of configurations is marked deprecated since 9.0."

There are varying POVs on the topic of 'unsupported' topology levels.

It is common to say that on a system without hyperthreading, that there
is always 1 thread. Likewise when new CPUs introduced a concept of
multiple "dies', it was reasonable to say that all historical CPUs
before that implicitly had 1 'die'. Likewise for the more recently
introduced 'modules' and 'clusters' parameter'. From this POV, it is
valid to set 'parameter=1' on the -smp command line for any machine,
only a value > 1 is strictly an error condition.

It doesn't cause any functional difficulty for QEMU, because internally
the QEMU code is itself assuming that all "unsupported" parameters
implicitly have a value of '1'.

At the libvirt level, we've allowed applications to set 'parameter=1'
when configuring a guest, and pass that through to QEMU.

Deprecating this creates extra difficulty for because there's no info
exposed from QEMU about which machine types "support" which parameters.
Thus, libvirt can't know whether it is valid to pass 'parameter=1' for
a given machine type, or whether it will trigger deprecation messages.

Since there's no apparent functional benefit to deleting this deprecated
behaviour from QEMU, and it creates problems for consumers of QEMU,
remove this deprecation.
