[Qemu-devel] [PULL 07/34] Document --rtc-td-hack, --localtime and --startdate as deprecated

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Thomas Huth <address@hidden>

These options have been marked in a comment in qemu-options.hx as
deprecated in 2009 already (see commit 1ed2fc1fa35fadc0d6), but we
never informed the users about these deprecations. Let's catch up
on that omission now.
