qemu-system-aarch64 default pointer authentication (QARMA5) is expensive, we
spent up to 50% of the emulation time running it (when using TCG).
Switching to pauth-impdef=on is often given as a solution to speed up execution.
Thus we talked about making it the new default.
The first patch introduce a new property (pauth-qarma5) to allow to select
current default algorithm.
The second one change the default.
The third one updates documentation.
v2:
- ensure we don't break migration compatibility, by using a specific backward
compatible property.
- added some documentation about migration for arm virt machine model.

target/arm: add new property to select pauth-qarma5
target/arm: change default pauth algorithm to impdef
