    tools: disable building qemu-trad per default
    
    Using qemu-traditional as device model is deprecated for some time now.
    
    So change the default for building it to "disable". This will affect
    ioemu-stubdom, too, as there is a direct dependency between the two.
    
    Today it is possible to use a PVH/HVM Linux-based stubdom as device
    model. Additionally using ioemu-stubdom isn't really helping for
    security, as it requires to run a very old and potentially buggy qemu
    version in a PV domain. This is adding probably more security problems
    than it is removing by using a stubdom.
