pseries: Move CPU compatibility property to machine
Server class POWER CPUs have a "compat" property, which is used to set the
backwards compatibility mode for the processor. However, this only makes
sense for machine types which don't give the guest access to hypervisor
privilege - otherwise the compatibility level is under the guest's control.
To reflect this, this removes the CPU 'compat' property and instead
creates a 'max-cpu-compat' property on the pseries machine. Strictly
speaking this breaks compatibility, but AFAIK the 'compat' option was
never (directly) used with -device or device_add.
The option was used with -cpu. So, to maintain compatibility, this
patch adds a hack to the cpu option parsing to strip out any compat
options supplied with -cpu and set them on the machine property
instead of the now deprecated cpu property.
