[for-7.1,0/4] Last-minute LoongArch CPU model naming tweaks

Hi,

Some people are already testing out the 7.1 RCs for the LoongArch
emulation, and have suggested improvements to the CPU model naming
scheme. While assessing the situation I also found the documentation
already out-of-date, in addition to being especially hard to read (for a
Chinese who could *not* understand Chinglish, though).

Sorry for being really late (I've mostly been focusing on my day job and
LLVM bringup work for LoongArch recently), but hopefully these changes
could still be integrated, because target/loongarch is fresh addition
for 7.1 nobody should have depended on its implementation details yet.
Anyway, since the "new world" ecosystem isn't expected to mature and
attract lots of users very soon, it could be acceptable to just punt
this to 7.2, and issue incompatible change notices as usual. I
personally would be fine with either.

WANG Xuerui (4):
  target/loongarch: Only allow short -cpu arguments without type name
    suffix
  target/loongarch: Trim type name suffix in -cpu help output
  target/loongarch: rename the TCG CPU "la464" to "qemu64-v1.00"
  docs, target/loongarch: Rewrite the LoongArch docs
