cirrus: add option to disable blitter
Ok, we have this beast in the cirrus code which is not used at all by modern guests, except when you try to find security holes in qemu. So, add an option to disable blitter altogether. Guests released within the last ten years should not show any rendering issues if you turn off blitter support. There are no known bugs in the cirrus blitter code. But in the past we hoped a few times already that we've finally nailed the last issue. So having some easy way to mitigate in case yet another blitter issue shows up certainly makes me sleep a bit better at night. For completeness: The by far better way to mitigate is to switch away from cirrus and use stdvga instead. Or something more modern like virtio-vga in case your guest has support for it.
