This patch checks the available Quickemu version. If >= 4.9.6 is available, Quickgui will use the new Quickemu --kill option to terminate VMs. The existing killall <processname> will be used for older versions of Quickemu.
This change is being made because --kill is macOS compatible, whereas killall <processname> is only supported on Linux because QEMU on macOS can not set the process name for a VM.
