[46/60] *-user: Deprecate and disable -p pagesize

Commit Message

Richard Henderson March 1, 2024, 11:06 p.m. UTC

This option controls the host page size.  From the mis-usage in
our own testsuite, this is easily confused with guest page size.

The only thing that occurs when changing the host page size is
that stuff breaks, because one cannot actually change the host
page size.  Therefore reject all but the no-op setting as part
of the deprecation process.
