q35: acpi: do not create dummy MCFG table

Dummy table (with signature "QEMU") creation came from original SeaBIOS
codebase. And QEMU would have to keep it around if there were Q35 machine
that depended on keeping ACPI tables blob constant size. Luckily there
were no versioned Q35 machine types before commit:
  (since 2.3) a1666142db acpi-build: make ROMs RAM blocks resizeable
which obsoleted need to keep ACPI tables blob the same size on source/destination.

Considering the 1st versioned machine is pc-q35-2.4, the dummy table
is not really necessary and it's safe to drop it without breaking
cross version migration in both directions unconditionally.
