Since 2012 (commit ba6212d8 "Eliminate cpus-x86_64.conf file") we
have no default config files that would be disabled using
-nodefconfig. Update documentation and document -nodefconfig as
deprecated.

-Normally QEMU loads configuration files from @var{sysconfdir} and
@var{datadir} at startup.
-The @code{-nodefconfig} option will prevent QEMU from loading any of those
config files.
+This option was used to disable loading of config files from @var{sysconfdir}
+and @var{datadir}, but it is deprecated as QEMU doesn't load any config files
+from @var{datadir} anymore. To disable loading of config files from
+@var{sysconfdir}, use @code{-no-user-config} instead.
