As s390 CPU models progress and deprecated properties are dropped
outright, it will be cumbersome for management apps to query the host
for a comprehensive list of deprecated properties that will need to be
disabled on older models. To remedy this, the query-cpu-model-expansion
output now behaves by filtering deprecated properties based on the
expansion type instead of filtering based off of the model's full set
of features:
When reporting a static CPU model, only show deprecated properties that
are a subset of the model's enabled features.
When reporting a full CPU model, show the entire list of deprecated
properties regardless if they are supported on the model.

Changelog:
v2
- Changed commit message
- Added documentation reflecting this change
- Made code changes that more accurately filter the deprecated
properties based on expansion type. This change makes it
so that the deprecated-properties reported for a static model
expansion are a subset of the model's properties instead of
the model's full-definition properties.
For example:
Previously, the z900 static model would report 'bpb' in the
list of deprecated-properties. However, this prop is *not*
a part of the model's feature set, leading to some inaccuracy
(albeit harmless).
Now, this feature will not show during a static expansion.
It will, however, show up in a full expansion (along with
the rest of the list: 'csske', 'te', 'cte').
@David, I've elected to respectully forgo adding your ack-by on this
iteration since I have changed the code (and therefore the behavior)
between this version and the previous in case you do not agree with
these adjustments.
