i8259: add -no-spurious-interrupt-hack option
This patch provides a way to optionally suppress spurious interrupts,
as a workaround for systems described below:
Some old operating systems do not handle spurious interrupts well,
and qemu tends to generate them significantly more often than
real hardware.
Examples:
- Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987)
(The main problem I'm fixing: Without this patch, it panics
sporadically when accessing the hard disk.)
- AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version 2.1a (ca 1991)
See screenshot in "QEMU Official OS Support List":
http://www.claunia.com/qemu/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9
(I don't have this system to test.)
- A report about OS/2 boot lockup from 2004 by Hampa Hug:

(My patch was partially inspired by his.)
