Update Qemu version to the latest stable release, v6.1.0. The latest Qemu release contains numerous bug fixes, and other improvements, and the existing patches various issues reported in older Qemu versions.

The only changes required are incrementing the Qemu version and adding ninja-build as a temporary dependency, since Qemu now uses it for the build system.

Putting this on hold until Ubuntu versions are incremented, since Qemu 6.x requires Python3.6+ installed, but Ubuntu 16.04 only provides Python3.5.

The only changes required are incrementing the Qemu version and adding ninja-build as a temporary dependency, since Qemu now uses it for the build system. However, Ubuntu 16.04, the base image for numerous dependencies we use, still ships with Python3.5, and Qemu 6.1.0 requires Python3.6+, as well as the ninja-build system. We therefore add a check to see if we have a compatible Python version, and if we do, build the last Qemu version, so our code can be fully backwards-compatible.

Fixes cross-rs#557.
Closes cross-rs#587.
