qemu-option: do not suggest using the delay option
The "delay" option was a hack that was introduced to allow writing "nodelay". We are adding a "nodelay" option to be used as "nodelay=on", so recommend it instead of "delay". This is quite ugly, but a proper deprecation of "delay" cannot be done if QEMU starts suggesting it. Since it's the only case I opted for this very much ad-hoc patch. Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
