[PATCH v2 3/6] docs/about/removed-features: Document removed CLI options from QEMU v3.1

[Thomas Huth]

These CLI options had been removed/replaced in QEMU v3.1. Still, some
people might want to update from older versions to the recent QEMU version,
so we should give some recommendations for the replacements in our
documentation.
