[PULL 8/8] docs/qdev-device-use: Don't suggest -drive and -net can do USB

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

Commit 480324ec8d "docs/qdev-device-use: Clean up the sentences
related to -usbdevice" deleted the information on syntax that no
longer works.  Unfortunately, the resulting text suggests you can
configure USB block devices with -drive, and USB network devices with
-net, which is misleading.

Instead of rephrasing the now misleading text, I'm putting the
information back, and just make clear it's about old versions of QEMU.
