hw/s390x/ccw: Mark virtio-pci disable-legacy property as optional
The s390-ccw-virtio-11.0 compatibility property for TYPE_VIRTIO_PCI
"disable-legacy" causes QEMU to abort when instantiating
vhost-user-fs-pci devices:
Unexpected error in object_property_find_err() at
../qom/object.c:1284:
qemu-system-s390x: -device vhost-user-fs-pci: can't apply
global virtio-pci.disable-legacy=off: Property
'vhost-user-fs-pci.disable-legacy' not found
The issue occurs because some vhost-user devices like
vhost-user-fs-pci only implement the non-transitional variant
and do not define a generic device type. Non-transitional
devices have disable-legacy hardcoded to "on" and do not
expose it as a property, while only generic device types have
the "disable-legacy" property. This affects users running
older machine versions (11.0 and earlier) even when using the
latest QEMU version.
Mark the global property as optional so it only applies to
devices that actually have the property, allowing vhost-user
devices without a generic variant to be instantiated
successfully on older machine versions.
