    hw/riscv: Remove deprecated 'riscv, delegate' device-tree property

    The "riscv,delegate" DT property was added in QEMU 7.0 as part of
    the AIA APLIC support.  The property changed name during the
    review process in Linux and the correct name ended up being
    "riscv,delegation". The incorrect name was added as alias, and
    deprecated in v9.1 (commit 38facfa8432), so can be removed for
    v11.0.
