test: Switch to qemu -netdev stream option instead of using qrap
qemu commit 13c6be96618c ("net: stream: add unix socket") introduces support for native AF_UNIX support, finally making qrap useless. We can't quite drop that yet until a qemu release includes it, and then we'll need to wait a while for users to switch anyway, but at least for tests, we can use that support.
