The plan is to eventually set
default_cpu_version=CPU_VERSION_LATEST, but we won't change
default_cpu_version in QEMU 5.0 yet.

We need to keep default_cpu_version=1 for a few releases, until
management software adapts.  See the "Runnability guarantee of
CPU models" section at qemu-deprecated.texi.
