That's not true. The new syntax is used for multi-host gluster disks
(qemuGetDriveSourceProps). Also we have QMP introspection code in place
which can detect whether given configuration option is supported by the
given qemu (virQEMUCapsQMPSchemaQueries[]).

Also we should not fully update the command line generator in cases
where it's not necessary as it would just make the code more complex
without any real benefit. The new protocols can use the new syntax
though.
