We really only care about the RAM memory region not being mapped into
an address space yet as long as we're still setting up the
RamDiscardManager. Once mapped into an address space, memory notifiers
would get notified about such a region and any attempts to modify the
RamDiscardManager would be wrong.
While "mapped into an address space" is easy to check for RAM regions that
are mapped directly (following the ->container links), it's harder to
check when such regions are mapped indirectly via aliases. For now, we can
only detect that a region is mapped through an alias (->mapped_via_alias),
but we don't have a handle on these aliases to follow all their ->container
links to test if they are eventually mapped into an address space.
So relax the assertion in memory_region_set_ram_discard_manager(),
remove the check in memory_region_get_ram_discard_manager() and clarify
the doc.

Let's fixup the documentation (e.g., removing traces of the ram_addr
parameter that no longer exists) and move it to the header file while at
it.

If "-audio BACKEND" is used without a model, the resulting backend
will be used whenever the audiodev property is not specified.

Match what is done for other options, for example -monitor, and also
the behavior of QEMU 8.1 (see the "legacy_config" variable). Require
the user to specify a backend if one is specified on the command line.

The softmmu/ directory contains files specific to system
emulation. Rename it as system/. Update meson rules, the
