The Qemu version present in readme.txt files was needed when
the Buildroot's Qemu defconfig was tested manually using the
qemu-system-<arch> binary already present on the host.
This information is now incorrect since we are using host-qemu
package, currently at 4.2.0 version, to do a runtime test since
0c79350638.
For m68k-q800, we can use the upstream qemu since 4.2.0 release
[1].
So, remove this line from the readme.txt.

This commit add the name of the Qemu defconfig file after each
qemu command line in order to retrieve it easily.
Since a readme.txt can be shared between several Qemu defconfig, we
need at least one qemu command line in readme.txt for each defconfig.
For now, ignore the qemu_arm_vexpress_tz_defconfig since it fail to build
due to python script issue [1]. Anyway the arm vexpress boot is tested
with qemu_arm_vexpress_defconfig.

The current Buildroot defconfigs for qemu_x86 and qemu_x86_64
instantiate a console on tty1, which appears on QEMU's
graphical window. Add a console on the serial port (ttyS0) to
be used later for gitlab testing.
This change is need since the script used for gitlab testing
needs to use a serial output with pexpect.
This change is similar to the one made for raspberrypi [1] to
handle HDMI and serial console:
This requires three changes:
1. have two 'console=' entries in the kernel command line: tty1,
then ttyS0;
2. change BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to "console", so it starts
a getty on the last console= passed to the kernel, ttyS0;
3. add a new getty on tty1 to the generated inittab.
Step 2 is actually obtained by removing BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT
entirely from the defconfigs, since "console" is the default value.
Step 3 requires a post-build script since the Buildroot makefiles can
configure only one console.
Note: instead of simply adding a new getty on ttyS0 (which would
work) this patch actually changes BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT to
instantiate a console on UART, then adds back tty1 via
post-build.sh. This is done only to avoid the "GENERIC_SERIAL" comment
where we instantiate a console on QEMU graphical window, then
instantiate a really-serial console on another line.
The result is these two inittab lines:
console::respawn:/sbin/getty -L console 0 vt100 # GENERIC_SERIAL
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L tty1 0 vt100 # QEMU graphical window

On my machine, it happens once in a while that the virtualised machine
boots too fast for the rootfs to be available at the time the kernel
tries to mount it.
For example, board/qemu/arm-vexpress/readme.txt suggested changing
"-smp 1" up to "-smp 4". But doing so here causes a kernel panic:
VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
1f00 131072 mtdblock0
(driver?)
1f01 32768 mtdblock1
(driver?)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
So, add the oh-so-useful 'rootwait' option to all kernel command lines
for qemu defconfigs.
