passt, qrap, README: Update notes and documentation for AF_UNIX support in qemu

We can't get rid of qrap quite yet, but at least we should start
telling users it's not going to be needed anymore starting from qemu
7.2.

.SH NOTES
This wrapper is temporary and needed only as long as \fBqemu\fR(1) does not
directly support a UNIX domain socket as \fInetdev\fR back-end.
Out-of-tree patches for \fBqemu\fR(1) introducing support for a UNIX domain
socket back-end are available at:
\fIhttps://passt.top/passt/tree/contrib/qemu\fR
This wrapper is temporary: qemu commit 13c6be96618c ("net: stream: add unix
socket") introduces native AF_UNIX socket support, and it should be included in
qemu starting from the 7.2 release. It will be around for a little bit longer to
give users enough time to switch.
