Support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE in QEMU, which indicates to
a guest that we don't support reading unplugged memory. We indicate
the feature based on a new "unplugged-inaccessible" property available
for x86 targets only (the only ones with legacy guests). Guests that don't
support VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE will fail initialization if
indicated/required by the hypervisor.
For example, Linux guests starting with v5.16 will support
VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.
For future targets that don't have legacy guests (especially arm64), we'll
always indicate VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE.
More details can be found in the description of patch #2.
"
For existing compat machines, the property will default to "off", to
not change the behavior but eventually warn about a problematic setup.
Short-term, we'll set the property default to "auto" for new QEMU machines.
Mid-term, we'll set the property default to "on" for new QEMU machines.
Long-term, we'll deprecate the parameter and disallow legacy guests
completely.

v1 -> v2:
- Added RBs
- "virtio-mem: Set "unplugged-inaccessible=auto" for the 7.0 machine on
x86"
-- 6.2 -> 7.0 machine
-- Update aptch description
