Document how multicore machines appear to GDB when debugged
via the debug stub. This is particularly non-intuitive for
the "multiple heterogenous clusters" case, but unfortunately
as far as I know there is no way with the remote protocol
for the stub to tell gdb "I have 2 inferiors, please connect
to both", so the user must set it all up manually.

We're about to add a new section to gdb.rst. In
preparation, add some more headings so it isn't just
one huge run-on section.

The man page does not contain all the chapters from the System Emulation
Users Guide, so some of the links that we've put into the qemu options
descriptions can not be resolved and thus the link names are used in the
man pages instead. These link names currently contain weird "_005f" letters
in the middle and just do not make any sense for the users. To avoid this
situation, replace the link names with more descriptive, natural text.

The documentation of our -s and -gdb options is quite old; in
particular it still claims that it will cause QEMU to stop and wait
for the gdb connection, when this has not been true for some time:
you also need to pass -S if you want to make QEMU not launch the
guest on startup.
Improve the documentation to mention this requirement in the
executable's --help output, the documentation of the -gdb option in
the manual, and in the "GDB usage" chapter.
Includes some minor tweaks to these paragraphs of documentation
since I was editing them anyway (such as dropping the description
of our gdb support as "primitive").

Apart from targets.rst, which was written by hand, this is an automated
conversion obtained with the following command:
makeinfo --force -o - --docbook \
-D 'qemu_system_x86 QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO' \
-D 'qemu_system QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \
$texi | pandoc -f docbook -t rst+smart | perl -e '

$_ = <>;

s/QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO/|qemu_system_x86|/g;
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.
