docs: standardize directory index to --- with overline Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory. Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g. === for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

docs: Move deprecation, build and license info out of system/ Now that we have a single Sphinx manual rather than multiple manuals, we can provide a better place for "common to all of QEMU" information like the deprecation notices, build platforms, license information, which we currently have in the system/ manual even though it applies to all of QEMU. Create a new directory about/ on the same level as system/, user/, etc, and move these documents there.

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
QEMU can be used in several different ways. The most common is for
"system emulation", where it provides a virtual model of an
entire machine (CPU, memory and emulated devices) to run a guest OS.
In this mode the CPU may be fully emulated, or it may work with
a hypervisor such as KVM, Xen, Hax or Hypervisor.Framework to
allow the guest to run directly on the host CPU.
The second supported way to use QEMU is "user mode emulation",
where QEMU can launch processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
In this mode the CPU is always emulated.
QEMU also provides a number of standalone commandline utilities,
docs: Format literals correctly In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.
