Subject: [PATCH] [macOS] Remove QEMU arguments table from settings (#7604)

Remove the read-only QEMU arguments table and editing controls as they
caused user confusion around whether arguments were editable. Retain
the "Export QEMU Command" debug button since the exported output and
debug.log serve the actual debugging use case.
