The 'vlan' term caused a lot of confusion in the past, so let's try
to switch to the better word "hub" everywhere where it is appropriate.
(Note: The CLI parameter "vlan=xxx" still remains as is to not break the
compatibility with older versions)

Bold proposal: remove 'vlan' property/suboption in 2.13, so that we can
remove the "aka"s altogether.  Yes, it's early, but even though I've
occasionally used vlans I've never used more than one...

Fine for me, too - if we all feel confident enough already for that. The
"vlan=..." parameter of "-net" has been declared as deprecated since
QEMU v2.9, so unless somebody sees an urgent need to still keep it, I
can add another patch to this series to remove it ("-net" will then only
work with the default hub #0).
