qemu: do not define known no-op features
    
    Qemu dropped cpu features for osxsave and ospke [1][2].
    The reason for the instant removal is that those features were never
    configurable as discussed in [3].
    
    Fortunately the use cases adding those flags in the past are rare, but
    they exist. One that I identified are e.g. older virt-install when used
    with --cpu=host-model and there always could be the case of a user
    adding it to the guest xml.
    
    This triggers an issue like:
      qemu-system-x86_64: can't apply global Broadwell-noTSX-x86_64-
      cpu.osxsave=on: Property '.osxsave' not found
    
    Ensure that this does no more break spawning newer qemu versions by
    not rendering those features into the qemu command line.
