Change the way video graphics adapter is selected

Instead of having (current)three command line switches -std-vga,
-cirrusvga and -vmwarevga, provide one -vga switch which takes
an argument, so that:
qemu -std-vga   becomes qemu -vga std
qemu -cirrusvga becomes qemu -vga cirrus
qemu -vmwarevga becomes qemu -vga vmware

Update documentation accordingly.
