Thus we never remove this option. Since it's not such a big burden to
keep it around, and it's also convenient in the sense that you don't
have to worry to enable a host controller explicitly with this option,
we should remove it from he deprecation list again, and rather properly
document the possible device for this option instead.

However, there is one exception: "-usbdevice audio" should go away, since
audio devices without "audiodev=..." parameter are also on the deprecation
list and you cannot use "-usbdevice audio" with "audiodev".

It's missing an addition to docs/system/removed-features.rst for "-usbdevice audio"; otherwise looks good.

Well, I guess hardly anybody ever used this since it was completely undocumented (try to google it - I just got one
result), but yeah, let's better document it that it's gone
now. I'll send a v2.
