Fallback might affect guest or worse whole host performance
or functionality if backing file were used to share guest RAM
with another process.
Patch deprecates fallback so that we could remove it in future
and ensure that QEMU will provide expected behavior and fail if
it can't use user provided backing file.

Implicit RAM distribution between nodes has exactly the same issues as:
"numa: deprecate 'mem' parameter of '-numa node' option"
only with QEMU being the user that's 'adding' 'mem' parameter.
Deprecate it, to get it out of the way so that we could consolidate
guest RAM allocation using memory backends making it consistent and
possibly later on transition to using memory devices instead of
adhoc memory mapping for the initial RAM.

The parameter allows to configure fake NUMA topology where guest
VM simulates NUMA topology but not actually getting performance
benefits from it. The same or better results could be achieved
using 'memdev' parameter.
Beside of unpredictable performance, '-numa node.mem' option has
other issues when it's used with combination of -mem-path +
+ -mem-prealloc + memdev backends (pc-dimm), breaking binding of
memdev backends since mem-path/mem-prealloc are global and affect
the most of RAM allocations.
It's possible to make memdevs and global -mem-path/mem-prealloc
to play nicely together but that will just complicate already
complicated code and add unobious ways it could break on 2
different memmory allocation pathes and their combinations.
Instead of it, consolidate all guest RAM allocation over memdev
which still allows to create fake NUMA configurations if desired
and leaves one simplifyed code path to consider when it comes
to guest RAM allocation.
To achieve desired simplification deprecate 'mem' parameter as its
ad-hoc partitioning of initial RAM MemoryRegion can't be translated
to memdev based backend transparently to users and in compatible
manner (migration wise).
Later down the road that will allow to consolidate means of how
guest RAM is allocated and would permit us to clean up quite
a bit memory allocations and numa code, leaving only 'memdev'
implementation in place.

Basically, the context could get the MachineState reference via call
chains or unrecommended qdev_get_machine() in !CONFIG_USER_ONLY mode.
A local variable of the same name would be introduced in the declaration
phase out of less effort OR replace it on the spot if it's only used
once in the context. No semantic changes.

The handlers for qapi/machine.json's QMP commands are spread over
cpus.c, hw/core/numa.c, monitor/misc.c, monitor/qmp-cmds.c, and vl.c.
Move them all to new hw/core/machine-qmp-cmds.c, where they are
covered by MAINTAINERS section "Machine core", just like
qapi/machine.json.
