H A Dosdep.cfac862ff Thu Nov 12 11:29:54 CST 2015 Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> osdep: Change default value of qemu_hw_version() to "2.5+"

There are two issues with qemu_hw_version() today:

1) If a machine has hw_version set, the value returned by it is
not very useful, because it is not the actual QEMU version.
2) If a machine does't set hw_version, the return value of
qemu_hw_version() is broken, because it will change when
upgrading QEMU.

For those reasons, using qemu_hw_version() is strongly
discouraged, and should be used only in code that used
QEMU_VERSION in the past and needs to keep compatibility.

To fix (2), instead of making every machine broken by default
unless they set hw_version, make qemu_hw_version() simply return
"2.5+" if qemu_set_hw_version() is not called.
