So there is no real urgent need for keeping the slirp submodule in
the QEMU tree anymore. Thus let's drop the slirp submodule now and
rely on the libslirp packages from the distributions instead.

I would like to have feature parity even with CFI. I had written the
libslirp side a few months ago, but never tested it because I didn't get
to the QEMU side.
I updated it and you can find it at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp/-/merge_requests/117. I'll
get to the QEMU side now.
Also, doing this at the same time as a switch to Meson >=0.60 (probably
0.61.x) would allow something like
option('slirp', type: 'feature', value: 'auto',
description: 'libslirp user mode network backend support',
deprecated: {'system': 'enabled', 'internal': 'auto'})
This keeps incremental builds working. All of this should be doable in
7.1, so this is not an objection to removing the submodule in 7.1.
