We want to make it obvious that we consider machine types for older
RHEL major releases to be deprecated; we only carry them for
compatibility purposes.
Let's mark all rhel-7.x and rhel-8.x machine type as deprecated via
QEMU's existing deprecation mechanism; those machine types will
continue to work as expected, but commands like 'virsh capabilities',
'virsh dominfo', or the libvirt log will tag the machine as
deprecated.
