utils: Deprecate hex-with-suffix sizes 

Supporting '0x20M' looks odd, particularly since we have a 'B' suffix
that is ambiguous for bytes, as well as a less-frequently-used 'E'
suffix for extremely large exibytes.  In practice, people using hex
inputs are specifying values in bytes (and would have written
0x2000000, or possibly relied on default_suffix in the case of
qemu_strtosz_MiB), and the use of scaling suffixes makes the most
sense for inputs in decimal (where the user would write 32M).  But
rather than outright dropping support for hex-with-suffix, let's
follow our deprecation policy.  Sadly, since qemu_strtosz() does not
have an Err** parameter, and plumbing that in would be a much larger
task, we instead go with just directly emitting the deprecation
warning to stderr.

hexadecimal sizes with scaling multipliers (since 6.0)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Input parameters that take a size value should only use a size suffix
(such as 'k' or 'M') when the base is written in decimal, and not when
the value is hexadecimal. That is, '0x20M' is deprecated, and should
be written either as '32M' or as '0x2000000'.
