hw/core/machine-smp: Remove deprecated "parameter=0" SMP configurations

The "parameter=0" SMP configurations have been marked as deprecated
since v6.2.

For these cases, -smp currently returns the warning and adjusts the
zeroed parameters to 1 by default.

Remove the above compatibility logic in v9.0, and return error directly
if any -smp parameter is set as 0.
