qapi: modify docstrings to be sphinx-compatible

A precise style guide and a package-wide overhaul is forthcoming pending
further discussion and consensus. For now, merely avoid obvious errors
that cause Sphinx documentation build problems, using a style loosely
based on PEP 257 and Sphinx Autodoc. It is chosen for interoperability
with our existing Sphinx framework, and because it has loose recognition
in the Pycharm IDE.
