-display sdl uses a hand-crafted parser in vl.c, which is quite ugly since the other parts of -display have been QAPIfied already. A straight conversion to QAPI is not advisable since the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" parameters are not the best solution anyway. So this patch series introduces a new "grab-mod" parameter as replacement instead and then deprecates the old and crufty options. While we're at it, the third patch also suggests to deprecated the old -sdl and -curses top-level options.
