Options such as "server" or "nowait", that are commonly found in -chardev,
are sugar for "server=on" and "wait=off". This is quite surprising and
also does not have any notion of typing attached. It is even possible to
do "-device e1000,noid" and get a device with "id=off".
Deprecate all this, except for -chardev and -spice where it is in
wide use.
