* Added Changes
- update VCS-git to match the bionic branch
- sdl2 is yet too unstable for the LTS Ubuntu release given the reports
we still see upstream and in Debian - furthermore sdl2 isn't in main yet,
so we revert related changes to stick with the proven for now:
- 0fd25810 - do not build-depend on libx11-dev (libsdl2-dev already
depends on it)
- 9594f820 - switch from sdl1.2 to sdl2 (#870025)
- d/qemu-system-x86.README.Debian: document intention of nested being
default is comfort, not full support
- update Ubuntu machine types for qemu 2.11
- qemu-guest-agent: freeze-hook fixes (LP: #1484990)
- d/p/guest-agent-freeze-hook-skip-dpkg-artifacts.patch

* Dropped changes (no more needed):
