Paolo Bonzini 06905f6402 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.

Peter Maydell f347839258 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.

    -D 'qemu_system     QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \

      s/(?=::\n\n +\|qemu)/.. parsed-literal/g;
      s/:\n\n::$/::/gm;
      print' > $rst

In addition, the following changes were made manually:

- target-i386.rst and target-mips.rst: replace CPU model documentation with
  an include directive

- monitor.rst: replace the command section with a comment

- images.rst: add toctree

- target-arm.rst: Replace use of :math: (which Sphinx complains
  about) with :sup:, and hide it behind |I2C| and |I2C| substitutions.

Content that is not @included remains exclusive to qemu-doc.texi.

Peter Maydell acab923dce qemu-block-drivers: Convert to rST
The qemu-block-drivers documentation is currently in
docs/qemu-block-drivers.texi in Texinfo format, which we present
to the user as:
 * a qemu-block-drivers manpage
 * a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation

Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to
the user as:
 * a qemu-block-drivers manpage
 * part of the system/ Sphinx manual

This follows the same pattern we've done for qemu-ga and qemu-nbd.

We have to drop a cross-reference from the documentation of the
-cdrom option back to the qemu-block-drivers documentation, since
they're no longer within the same texinfo document.

As noted in a comment, the manpage output is slightly compromised
due to limitations in Sphinx. In an ideal world, the HTML output
would have the various headings like 'Disk image file formats'
as top-level section headings (which then appear in the overall
system manual's table-of-contents), and it would not have the
section headings which make sense only for the manpage like
'synopsis', 'description', and 'see also'. Unfortunately, the
mechanism Sphinx provides for restricting pieces of documentation
is limited to the point of being flawed: the 'only::' directive
is implemented as a filter that is applied at a very late stage
in the document processing pipeline, rather than as an early
equivalent of an #ifdef. This means that Sphinx's process of
identifying which section heading markup styles are which levels
of heading gets confused if the 'only::' directive contains
section headings which would affect the heading-level of a
later heading. I have opted to prioritise making the HTML format
look better, with the compromise being that in the manpage
the 'Disk image file formats' &c headings are top-level headings
rather than being sub-headings under the traditional 'Description'
top-level section title.
