Subject: [PATCH] Manpage: Update description of 'user=username' for
'-run-with'
Manpage: the description of '-runs' didn't show this parameter will use
setuid, so the customer might get confused when 'elevateprivileges=deny' is
used. Since '-runas' is going to be deprecated and replaced by this
parameter in the coming qemu9.1, add the message here.
