[PATCH 2/2] qemu: Generate command line for tb-cache feature

Alright, here's the deal: to enable tb-cache one has to use
'-accel tcg,tb-size=' which then conflicts with '-machine
accel=tcg'. But sure, we can use the old -accel in this specific
case. But because of how the tb-size argument is defined in QEMU
there's no way for us to have a capability check. The feature was
introduced in QEMU commit of v5.0.0-rc0~175^2~62 and is tied to
TCG only. Therefore, I think we can live without capability
check. Worst case scenario, QEMU fails to start.
