tools: disable building qemu-trad per default

Using qemu-traditional as device model is deprecated for some time now.

So change the default for building it to "disable". This will affect
ioemu-stubdom, too, as there is a direct dependency between the two.

Today it is possible to use a PVH/HVM Linux-based stubdom as device
model. Additionally using ioemu-stubdom isn't really helping for
security, as it requires to run a very old and potentially buggy qemu
version in a PV domain. This is adding probably more security problems
than it is removing by using a stubdom.
