emulators/qemu8: Mark DEPRECATED
On Linux, maintaining multiple QEMU versions makes sense due to KVM
backend differences between releases. FreeBSD does not use KVM, and as
such, there is no comparable benefit to keeping older QEMU branches
like QEMU 8.x. Maintaining these versions adds unnecessary overhead
without providing meaningful value to FreeBSD users.
The emulators/qemu8 port is now deprecated and scheduled for removal at
the end of the current quarterly branch. Users are encouraged to migrate
to the latest supported emulators/qemu port.
If there are specific use cases or concerns I may have missed, feel free
to reach out.
