Remove the qemu-traditional support. This includes the Mini-OS
based ioemu-stubdom.

I _think_ rombios support could be removed, too, but this can be
done in a second step.

After adding the series a run of autoconf should be done.

Juergen Gross (6):
  SUPPORT.md: make Linux based stubdom fully supported
  docs: remove qemu-traditional support from documentation
  tools: remove support for running a guest with qemu-traditional
  tools: remove qemu-traditional
  stubdom: remove ancient stubdom-dm script
  build: don't require full tools build for building stubdoms

XenServer is still using RomBIOS, because qemu-trad and qemu-xen were
not inter-operable and we needed Windows not to go a shade of blue. 
Therefore I'd prefer if this could stay in it's off-by-default form,
rather than carrying a revert.
