slirp: Move smb, redir, tftp and bootp parameters and -net channel
So far a couple of slirp-related parameters were expressed via stand-alone command line options. This it inconsistent and unintuitive. Moreover, it prevents both dynamically reconfigured (host_net_add/ delete) and multi-instance slirp. This patch refactors the configuration by turning -smb, -redir, -tftp and -bootp as well as -net channel into options of "-net user". The old stand-alone command line options are still processed, but no longer advertised. This allows smooth migration of management applications to to the new syntax and also the extension of that syntax later in this series.
