   |qemu_system| [options] [disk_image]

disk_image is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0. Some targets do
not need a disk image.

When dealing with options parameters as arbitrary strings containing
commas, such as in "file=my,file" and "string=a,b", it's necessary to
double the commas. For instance,"-fw_cfg name=z,string=a,,b" will be
parsed as "-fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b".

qemu-options: Clarify handling of commas in options parameters Provide explicit guidance on dealing with option parameters as arbitrary strings containing commas, such as in "file=my,file" and "string=a,b". The updated documentation emphasizes the need to double commas when they appear within such parameters.

qemu-options.hx: Fix up the autogenerated rST This commit contains hand-written fixes for some issues with the autogenerated rST fragments in qemu-options.hx: * Sphinx complains about the UTF-8 art table in the documentation of the -drive option. Replace it with a proper rST format table. * rST does not like definition list entries with no actual definition, but it is possible to work around this by putting a single escaped literal space as the definition line. * The "-g widthxheight" option documentation suffers particularly badly from losing the distinction between italics and fixed-width as a result of the auto conversion, so put it back in again. * The script missed some places that use the \|qemu_system\| etc macros and need to be marked up as parsed-literal blocks. * The script autogenerated an expanded out version of the contents of qemu-option-trace.texi; replace it with an qemu-option-trace.rst.inc include. This is sufficient that we can enable inclusion of the option documentation from invocation.rst.

docs: Split out sections for the manpage into .rst.inc files Sphinx doesn't have very good facilities for marking chunks of documentation as "put this in the manpage only". So instead we move the parts we want to put into both the HTML manuals and the manpage into their own .rst.inc files, which we can include from both the main manual rst files and a new toplevel rst file that will be the skeleton of the qemu.1 manpage. In this commit, just split out the parts of the documentation that go in the manpage.
