[Slackbuilds-users] qemu updates roadmap

All,

I'm going to hold off on qemu-8.0 for a bit and just bump to qemu-7.2.1


1.  For 8.0, virtiofsd is now an external dependency. This built with
rust, of which I know absolutely nothing about. Since this may take me
awhile to do (wtf is a 'cargo'?), if anyone has a burning desire to add
virtiofsd to SBo, have at it!

2. Slackware 15.0 meson-0.59.4 is too old.  qemu has an internal
meson-0.61.5 that is currently used for 7.2.x, but I think using the
system meson is better for consistency.

3. libslirp and a few others will be made hard dependencies to have
those handy features available by default. Also, libslirp could use bump
to version 4.7.0 (maintainer cc:'ed)
