Can't start with ubuntu's latest QEMU

See original GitHub issue

I’m on the latest ubuntu 18.04.3 with the QEMU installed from apt. When I start arm_now, the error message is shown below:

qemu-system-arm: -nic: invalid option

My QEMU version:

(arm_now) ~/tmp ᐅ qemu-system-arm -version
QEMU emulator version 2.11.1(Debian 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.15)
Copyright (c) 2003-2017 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

But the -nic option is introduced in QEMU 2.12. See the post here: https://www.qemu.org/2018/05/31/nic-parameter/
