s390x: deprecate s390-squash-mcss machine prop

With the cssids unrestricted (commit "s390x/css: unrestrict cssids") the
s390-squash-mcss machine property should not be used.  Actually Libvirt
never supported this, so the expectation is that removing it should be
pretty painless.  But let's play nice and deprecate it first.
