qapi: Update docs given recent event, spacing fixes 

Commit 21cd70d added event support but didn't document what the
generated code looks like.  Commit 05dfb26 removed some unwanted
spaces in the generated code, but didn't reflect those changes
into the documentation.  Finally, the docs start with a big
disclaimer about QMP not using QAPI yet, which feels rather stale.

* Note: as of this writing, QMP does not use QAPI. Eventually QMP
commands will be converted to use QAPI internally. The following
information describes QMP/QAPI as it will exist after the
conversion.
