We don't have any automatic regression tests for these machines and
when asking the usual suspects on the mailing list we came to the
conclusion that nobody tests these machines manually, too, so it seems
like this is currently just completely unused code. Mark them as depre-
cated to see whether anybody still speaks up during the deprecation
period, otherwise we can likely remove these two machines in a couple
of releases.

The (former big-endian only) binary qemu-system-microblaze can
handle both endiannesses nowadays, so we don't need the separate
qemu-system-microblazeel binary for little endian anymore. Let's
deprecate it to avoid unnecessary compilation and test time in
the future.

Both machines were added with little-endian in mind only (the
"endianness" CPU property was hard-wired to "true", see commits
133d23b3ad and a88bbb006a), so the variants that showed up
on the big endian target likely never worked. We deprecated these
non-working machine variants two releases ago, and so far nobody
complained, so it should be fine now to disable them. Hard-wire
the machines to little endian now.

On Debian, the rustc-web package provides a newer Rust compiler (1.78)
for all architectures except mips64el.
On Ubuntu, Rust versions up to 1.80 (?) are available as of this writing
for both Jammy (22.04) and Noble (24.04). However, the path to rustc
and rustdoc must be provided by hand to the configure script using
either command line arguments or environment variables.

For change, pause, resume, complete, dismiss and finalize actions
corresponding job- and block-job commands are almost equal. The
difference is in find_block_job_locked() vs find_job_locked()
functions. What's different?
1. find_block_job_locked() checks whether the found job is a block-job.
This is OK when moving to more generic API, no needs to document this
change.
2. find_block_job_locked() reports DeviceNotActive on failure, when
find_job_locked() reports GenericError. So, let's document this
difference in deprecated.txt. Still, for dismiss and finalize errors
are not documented at all, so be silent in deprecated.txt as well.

Python 3.8 went "end of life" in October 2024 and Fedora 42 dropped
this version already, so the "python" CI job is currently failing.
Thus it's time to drop support for this Python version in QEMU, too.
While we're at it, also look for "python3.13" in the configure script.

Commit 5b4beba124 ("RISC-V Spike Machines") added the Spike machine and
made it default for qemu-system-riscv32/64. It was the first RISC-V
machine added in QEMU so setting it as default was sensible.
Today we have 7 riscv64 and 6 riscv32 machines and having 'spike' as
default machine is not intuitive. For example, [1] is a bug that was
opened with the 'virt' board in mind, but given that the user didn't
pass a '-machine' option, the user was using 'spike' without knowing.
Being explicit in the command line is desirable when we have a handful
of boards available, so deprecate the default machine setting from
RISC-V.

We are not aware of anybody still using this machine, support for it
has been withdrawn from the Linux kernel (i.e. there also won't be
any future development anymore), and we are not aware of any binaries
online that could be used for regression testing to avoid that the
machine bitrots ... thus let's mark it as deprecated now.
