Deprecate the -enable-hax option
We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator: "-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than "-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now. Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the "-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again (we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message - then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).
