Commit 5b4beba124 ("RISC-V Spike Machines") added the Spike machine and made it default for qemu-system-riscv32/64. It was the first RISC-V machine added in QEMU so setting it as default was sensible.Today we have 7 riscv64 and 6 riscv32 machines and having 'spike' as default machine is not intuitive. For example, [1] is a bug that was opened with the 'virt' board in mind, but given that the user didn't pass a '-machine' option, the user was using 'spike' without knowing. Being explicit in the command line is desirable when we have a handful of boards available, so deprecate the default machine setting from RISC-V.
