When we first converted our documentation to Sphinx, we split it into
multiple manuals (system, interop, tools, etc), which are all built
separately. The primary driver for this was wanting to be able to
avoid shipping the 'devel' manual to end-users. However, this is
working against the grain of the way Sphinx wants to be used and
causes some annoyances:
* Cross-references between documents become much harder or
possibly impossible
* There is no single index to the whole documentation
* Within one manual there's no links or table-of-contents info
that lets you easily navigate to the others
* The devel manual doesn't get published on the QEMU website
(it would be nice to able to refer to it there)
Merely hiding our developer documentation from end users seems like
it's not enough benefit for these costs. Combine all the
documentation into a single manual (the same way that the readthedocs
site builds it) and install the whole thing. The previous manual
divisions remain as the new top level sections in the manual.
* The per-manual conf.py files are no longer needed
* The man_pages[] specifications previously in each per-manual
conf.py move to the top level conf.py
* docs/meson.build logic is simplified as we now only need to run
Sphinx once for the HTML and then once for the manpages5B
* The old index.html.in that produced the top-level page with
links to each manual is no longer needed
Unfortunately this means that we now have to build the HTML
documentation into docs/manual in the build tree rather than directly
into docs/; otherwise it is too awkward to ensure we install only the
built manual and not also the dependency info, stamp file, etc. The
manual still ends up in the same place in the final installed
directory, but anybody who was consulting documentation from within
the build tree will have to adjust where they're looking.

In commit 1982e1602d we added a new qemu-storage-daemon(1) manpage.
At the moment new manpages have to be listed both in the conf.py for
Sphinx and also in docs/meson.build for Meson. We forgot the second
of those -- correct the omission.

Although individual qemu-storage-daemon QMP commands are identical to
QEMU QMP commands, qemu-storage-daemon only supports a subset of QEMU's
QMP commands. Generate a manual page of just the commands supported by
qemu-storage-daemon so that users know exactly what is available in
qemu-storage-daemon.
Add an h1 heading in storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json so that
block-core.json is at the h2 heading level.

The automatic dependency handling for Sphinx manuals only makes the output
depend on the input documentation files. This means that if you edit
the Python source of an extension then the documentation won't be
rebuilt.
Create a list of all the source files for the extensions and add
it to the dependencies for the manuals. This is similar to how we
handle the qapi_gen_depends list.
Because we don't try to identify which manuals are using which
Sphinx extensions, a change to the source of one extension will
always rebuild the entire manual set, not merely the manuals
which have changed. This is acceptable because we don't change
the extensions all that often.

[Re rebuilding the enitre manual set being acceptable "because we

the QAPI generator code the qapidoc extension depends on changes.
This will inconvenience QAPI developers. Can't be helped now.]

Convert qemu-qmp-ref to rST format. This includes dropping
the plain-text, pdf and info format outputs for this document;
as with all our other Sphinx-based documentation, we provide
HTML and manpage only.
The qemu-qmp-ref.rst is somewhat more stripped down than
the .texi was, because we do not (currently) attempt to
generate indexes for the commands, events and data types
being documented.
Again, we drop the direct link from index.html.in now that
the QMP ref is part of the interop manual.
This commit removes the code from the root meson.build file that
handled the various Texinfo-based outputs, because we no longer
generate any documentation except for the Sphinx HTML manuals and the
manpages, and the code can't handle having an empty list of files
to process.. We'll do further cleanup of the remainders of
Texinfo support in subsequent commits.

When cross-compiling, by default qemu_docdir is 'c:\Program Files\QEMU\'
which is not recognized as being an absolute path, and meson will end up
adding the prefix again.
Add an option to pass docdir location to meson, pre-prefixed like we do
with other directories, build qemu_docdir with the common suffix and use
that instead of config_host['qemu_docdir'].

using $(wildcard) is not reproducible in Meson and was also brittle; for
example some .rst.inc files were left out. The next patch will introduce
