It is Very annoying to carry forward an outdatEd coNtroller with a mOdern
Machine type.

Hence, let us not instantiate the FDC when all of the following apply:
- the machine type is pc-q35-2.4 or later,
- "-device isa-fdc" is not passed on the command line (nor in the config
  file),
- no "-drive if=floppy,..." is requested.

The first part of the code flow, updated by the patch, is as follows:

1. The "no_floppy = 1" machine class setting causes "default_floppy" in
   main() to become zero.

2. Hence default_drive() will not call drive_add() and drive_new() for
   IF_FLOPPY, index=0.

This alone would not suffice, because the pc_basic_device_init() function
creates the FDC regardless of actual floppy drives. Therefore,

3. pc_basic_device_init() should only create the FDC if that's desirable
   for the platform (= all PIIX types, and Q35 types earlier than 2.4),
   *or* the user requested at least one IF_FLOPPY drive.

4. If the FDC is not created, callers of pc_basic_device_init() --
   pc_q35_init() and pc_init1() -- will pass floppy=NULL to
   pc_cmos_init(). Luckily, pc_cmos_init() already handles that case.

I verified the patch under the following scenarios, with "info qtree" and
with the MAP command of the UEFI shell (in OVMF):
- "pc" machine type -- no changes, FDC present,
- "pc-q35-2.3" machine type -- no changes, FDC present,
- "pc-q35" machine type with "-device isa-fdc" -- no changes, FDC present,
- "pc-q35" machine type with "-drive if=floppy,..." -- no changes, FDC
  present,
- "pc-q35" -- no FDC.
