These aliases only work the command line, but not in QMP. Command line
QAPIfication involves writing some compatibility glue for them, which
I'm doing, but I think it's desirable to unify accepted values of both
paths. So deprecate the aliases so that we can drop the compatibility
glue later.
In the deprecation documentation I assumed that this is for 6.0, but if
we want to include it in 5.2 still, this can be changed, of course.
