The manpage reflects that multiple -net user calls may be made, but if this is done, it can cause the program to hang. Instead, multiple -net calls can be combined into one, and this patch adds that information to qemu-options.hx. Also, -net user may only be used in conjunction with -net nic. This is already implcitly stated, but this patch makes that statement more explicit.
