Remove the QAPI doc section heading syntax, use plain rST section
headings instead.
Tests and documentation are updated to match.
Interestingly, Plain rST headings work fine before this patch, except
for over- and underlining with '=', which the doc parser rejected as
invalid QAPI doc section heading in free-form comments.

We use "the query list" in a few places. It's not entirely obvious
what that means. It's actually the output of query-jobs or
query-block-jobs.
Documentation of @auto-dismiss talks about the job disappearing from
the query list when it reaches state @concluded. This is less than
precise. The job doesn't merely disappear from the query list, it
disappears, period.
Documentation of JobStatus @concluded explains "the job will remain in
the query list until it is dismissed". Again less than precise. It
remains in state @concluded until dismissed.
Rephrase without use of "the query list" for clarity and precision.

[Straightforward conflicts in qapi/audio.json qapi/misc-target.json
qapi/run-state.json resolved]
In the QEMU QMP Reference Manual, subsection "Block core (VM
unrelated)" is empty. Its contents is at the end of subsection
"Background jobs" instead. That's because qapi/job.json is included
first from qapi/block-core.json, which makes qapi/job.json's
documentation go between qapi/block-core.json's subsection heading and
contents.
In the QEMU Storage Daemon QMP Reference Manual, section "Block
Devices" contains nothing but an empty subsection "Block core (VM
unrelated)". The latter's contents is at the end section "Socket data
types", along with subsection "Block device exports". Subsection
"Background jobs" is at the end of section "Cryptography". All this
is because storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json includes modules in a
confused order.
Fix both as follows.
Turn subsection "Background jobs" into a section.
Move it before section "Block devices" in the QEMU QMP Reference
Manual, by including qapi/jobs.json right before qapi/block.json.
Reorder include directives in storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json to
match the order in qapi/qapi-schema.json, so that the QEMU Storage
Daemon QMP Reference Manual's section structure the QEMU QMP Reference
Manual's.
In the QEMU QMP Reference Manual, qapi/cryptodev.json's documentation
is at the end of section "Virtio devices". That's because it lacks a
section heading, and therefore gets squashed into whatever section
happens to precede it.
Add section heading so it's in section "Cryptography devices".

savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never
been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are
that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics
around choice of disks were ill-defined.
Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt
have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the
"human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly
desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to
all real world usage.
Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new
parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but
it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using
QAPI modelling is highly desirable.
This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to
QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new
commands are given different names, because they will be using the new
QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP
originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name.
While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is
still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later.
None the less applications using these new commands should assume that
they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to
indicate completion.
In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the
caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the
snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use.
Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query
what snapshots currently exist for block nodes.

dgilbert: removed tests for now, the output ordering isn't
deterministic
The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels,
but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about
indentation.
Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation
for multiline constructs like:
@arg: description line 1
description line 2
Returns: line one
line 2
so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and
subsequent lines align with the first.
This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the
generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away
all the extra whitespace). This does mean that we end up with some
over-length lines.
Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single
line like this:
@arg: one line only
then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so
I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference
is a single space here too.

This changes the x-blockdev-create QMP command so that it doesn't block
the monitor and the main loop any more, but starts a background job that
performs the image creation.
The basic job as implemented here is all that is necessary to make image
creation asynchronous and to provide a QMP interface that can be marked
stable, but it still lacks a few features that jobs usually provide: The
job will ignore pause commands and it doesn't publish more than very
basic progress yet (total-progress is 1 and current-progress advances
from 0 to 1 when the driver callbacks returns). These features can be
added later without breaking compatibility.
