virtio_pci: add an option to disable legacy driver
Useful for testing device virtio 1 compatibility. Based on patch by Rusty - couldn't resist putting that flying car joke in there! Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

+ Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
+
+ This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
+ both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
+ If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
+ with no legacy compatibility.
+
+ So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
+ so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
+ break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
+ life will be like in The Future.
