Support default block interfaces per QEMUMachine
There are QEMUMachines that have neither IF_IDE nor IF_SCSI as a
default/standard interface to their block devices / drives. Therefore,
this patch introduces a new field default_block_type per QEMUMachine
struct. The prior use_scsi field becomes thereby obsolete and is
replaced through .default_block_type = IF_SCSI.
This patch also changes the default for s390x to IF_VIRTIO and
removes an early hack that converts IF_IDE drives.
Other parties have already claimed interest (e.g. IF_SD for exynos)
To create a sane default, for machines that dont specify a
default_block_type, this patch makes IF_IDE = 0 and IF_NONE = 1.
I checked all users of IF_NONE (blockdev.c and ww/device-hotplug.c)
as well as IF_IDE and it seems that it is ok to change the defines -
in other words, I found no obvious (to me) assumption in the code
regarding IF_NONE==0. IF_NONE is only set if there is an
explicit if=none. Without if=* the interface becomes IF_DEFAULT.
I would suggest to have some additional care, e.g. by letting
this patch sit some days in the block tree.
