Peter Maydell 196afbb094 docs: Roll -prom-env and -g target-specific info into qemu-options.hx
The SPARC and PPC targets currently have a fragment of target-specific
information about the -g and -prom options which would be better placed
as part of the general documentation of those options in qemu-options.hx.
Move the relevant information to those locations.

SPARC also has a bit of text about the -M option which is out of
date and provides no useful information over the generic documentation
of that option, so just delete it.

The motivation here is again to avoid having to awkwardly include
this text into the rST version of the qemu.1 manpage.

PowerPC System emulator
-----------------------
Use the executable ``qemu-system-ppc`` to simulate a complete 40P (PREP)
or PowerMac PowerPC system.
QEMU emulates the following PowerMac peripherals:
- UniNorth or Grackle PCI Bridge
- PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
- 2 PMAC IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
- NE2000 PCI adapters
- Non Volatile RAM
- VIA-CUDA with ADB keyboard and mouse.
QEMU emulates the following 40P (PREP) peripherals:
- PCI Bridge
- PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
- 2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
- Floppy disk
- PCnet network adapters
- Serial port
- PREP Non Volatile RAM
- PC compatible keyboard and mouse.
Since version 0.9.1, QEMU uses OpenBIOS https://www.openbios.org/ for
the g3beige and mac99 PowerMac and the 40p machines. OpenBIOS is a free
(GPL v2) portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a
100% IEEE 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
