The Sparc CPU naming and the corresponding help text is somewhat
confusing for the users. We should avoid spaces in the Names and
provide clear information to the users what can be passed to the
"-cpu" option.
While we're at it, also remove the "+" from two of the CPU names
since this character is now not allowed in device names anymore
(and was worked around with an ugly hack in qom/object.c so far).

v2:
- Use "Sun-UltraSparc-IIIi-plus" and "Sun-UltraSparc-IV-plus"
  instead of just adding a "p" at the end
- Drop the sentence about NetBSD and OpenBSD in the docs since
  these problems are likely fixed since a long time already
- Added Reviewed-bys from earlier series and updated the patch
  descriptions a little bit
