A series of obvious patches to build without the deprecated

It is clearly not a bugfix.

I wonder whether this series is worth the effort right now, or whether
we should simply nuke the bluetooth code after 4.1 has been released?

Well, perfect is the enemy of good :)

This series is already done and is an improvement to what we have.

Regarding nuking it, it depends on the Nokia N-series boards, they might
become useless without BT support.

Er, they're not useless at all without BT support. The BT
hardware is a really tiny part that I doubt many users of
the board models ever used. As long as we retain a "simulate
doing nothing much" model of the BT device to show the guest
I don't care whether the BT backend code disappears.

OK, I won't insist then.

Bluetooth is dead, long live BT!

v4.2.0-rc0 just got tagged. We should stop linking unmaintained dead code. If nobody step in to nuke BT, we should consider applying this series before we release QEMU 5.0 with dead Bluetooth. This approach is still better than burying our head in the sand.
