Some of our documentation is auto-generated from documentation
comments in the JSON schema.
For Sphinx, rather than creating a file to include, the most natural
way to handle this is to have a small custom Sphinx extension which
processes the JSON file and inserts documentation into the rST
file being processed.
This is the same approach that kerneldoc and hxtool use.

The kernel-doc Sphinx plugin and associated script currently emit
'c:type' directives for "struct foo" documentation.
Sphinx 3.0 warns about this:
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/exec/memory.h:3: WARNING: Type must be either just a name or a typedef-like declaration.
If just a name:
Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name, got keyword: struct [error at 6]
struct MemoryListener
------^
If typedef-like declaration:
Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 21]
struct MemoryListener
---------------------^
because it wants us to use the new-in-3.0 'c:struct' instead.
Plumb the Sphinx version through to the kernel-doc script
and use it to select 'c:struct' for newer versions than 3.0.

Now that none of our input .hx files have STEXI/ETEXI blocks,
we can remove the code in the Sphinx hxtool extension that
supported parsing them.

In hxtool files, section headings defined with the DEFHEADING
and ARCHHEADING macros have a trailing ':'
DEFHEADING(Standard options:)
This is for the benefit of the --help output. For consistency
with the rest of the rST documentation, strip any trailing ':'
when we construct headings with the Sphinx hxtool extension.
This makes the table of contents look neater.
This only affects generation of documentation from qemu-options.hx,
which we will start doing in a later commit.

Some of our documentation includes sections which are created
by assembling fragments of texinfo from a .hx source file into
a .texi file, which is then included from qemu-doc.texi or
qemu-img.texi.
For Sphinx, rather than creating a file to include, the most natural
way to handle this is to have a small custom Sphinx extension which
reads the .hx file and process it. So instead of:
* makefile produces foo.texi from foo.hx
* qemu-doc.texi says '@include foo.texi'
we have:
* qemu-doc.rst says 'hxtool-doc:: foo.hx'
* the Sphinx extension for hxtool has code that runs to handle that
Sphinx directive which reads the .hx file and emits the appropriate
documentation contents
This is pretty much the same way the kerneldoc extension works right
now. It also has the advantage that it should work for third-party
services like readthedocs that expect to build the docs directly with
sphinx rather than by invoking our makefiles.
In this commit we implement the hxtool extension.
Note that syntax errors in the rST fragments will be correctly
reported to the user with the filename and line number within the
hx file.

Import Linux's kernel-doc script as of commit 15e2544ed38a1e, as well
as the Sphinx extension to call kernel-doc according to the arguments
and parameters given to a reStructuredText directive.
The kernel-doc extension accepts a filename, which is relative to
the QEMU source tree root. The extension also notifies Sphinx about the
document dependency on the file, causing the document to be rebuilt when
the file has been changed.

Sphinx, through Pygments, does not like annotated json examples very
much. In some versions of Sphinx (1.7), it will render the non-json
portions of code blocks in red, but in newer versions (2.0) it will
throw an exception and not highlight the block at all. Though we can
suppress this warning, it doesn't bring back highlighting on non-strict
json blocks.
We can alleviate this by creating a custom lexer for QMP examples that
allows us to properly highlight these examples in a robust way, keeping
our directionality and elision notations.
