I wonder if we should take this a step further and rename qemu-system-x86_64

I can't help feeling this just creates a new upgrade burden for distros
for no obvious win.
We can create the symlinks on install as well during the deprecation
period. It doesn't have to be done by distros.
What's the actual win though ? Why would anyone want to create guests
using qemu-system-x86, if both qemu-system-i386 / qemu-system-x86_64
still exist indefinitely for backwards compat.
