qemu.bbclass: clarify QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS
QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS is a way to add PACKAGE_ARCH specific options to the qemu_run_binary qemu commandline. The base QEMU_EXTRAOPTIONS variable (ie without a PACKAGE_ARCH suffix) is not used, so defining it, either directly or via an over-ride has no effect. Although previously an over-ride for _armv7a was used, it did nothing for most armv7a builds, which typically use PACKAGE_ARCH values such as "cortexa9hf-neon". In practice this worked OK since without a -cpu option, qemu-arm will default to emulating a CPU which supports all required architecture levels. qemu-arm (v2.5.0) with no -cpu option has been confirmed to successfully run binaries built for armv7ve.
