Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/gkurz/tags/for-upstream' into staging

- Aneesh no longer listed in MAINTAINERS,
- deprecation of the handle backend,
- improved error reporting, especially when the local backend fails to
  open the VirtFS root,
- virtio-9p-test to behave more like a real virtio guest driver: set
  DRIVER_OK when ready to use the device and process the used ring
  for completed requests,
- cosmetic fixes (mostly coding style related).

+@subsection -fsdev handle (since 2.12.0)
+
+The ``handle'' fsdev backend does not support symlinks and causes the 9p
+filesystem in the guest to fail a fair amount of tests from the PJD POSIX
+filesystem test suite. Also it requires the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability,
+which is not the recommended way to run QEMU. This backend should not be
+used and it will be removed with no replacement.
