[PATCH v5 for-5.0] configure: warn if not using a separate build directory |

Running configure directly from the source directory is a build
configuration that will go away in future. It is also not currently
covered by any automated testing. Display a deprecation warning if
the user attempts to use an in-srcdir build setup, so that they are
aware that they're building QEMU in an undesirable manner.

Changed in v5:
- Use PeterM's suggested wording instead.
- Dropped previous R-bs due to wording change
