remove -writeconfig
Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to
extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts.
However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more
limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration
by hand in the first place.  In addition, -writeconfig does
not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since
qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping.
Just remove it.

 ``-readconfig file``
     Read device configuration from file. This approach is useful when
     you want to spawn QEMU process with many command line options but
     you don't want to exceed the command line character limit.
