Add some words about how to enable or disable boolean features,
and remove the note about a Linux kernel being available on the
QEMU website (they have been removed long ago already), and the
note about NetBSD and OpenBSD still having issues (they should
work fine nowadays).

SUN Type 4, 5 and 5c keyboards have dip switches to choose the language layout
of the keyboard. Solaris makes an ioctl to query the value of the dipswitches
and uses that value to select keyboard layout. Also the SUN bios like the one
in the file ss5.bin uses this value to support at least some keyboard layouts.
However, the OpenBIOS provided with qemu is hardcoded to always use an US
keyboard layout.
Before this patch, qemu allways gave dip switch value 0x21 (US keyboard),
this patch uses a command line switch like
"-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=de" to select dip switch value. A table is
used to lookup values from arguments like:
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=fr
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=es
But the patch also accepts numeric dip switch values directly:
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=0x2b
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=43
Both values above are the same and select swedish keyboard as explained in
table 3-15 at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/806-6642/new-43/index.html
Unless you want to do a full Solaris installation but happen to have
access to a Sun bios file, the easiest way to test that the patch works
is to:
qemu-system-sparc -global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=sv -bios /path/to/ss5.bin
If you already happen to have a Solaris installation in a qemu disk image
file you can easily try different keyboard layouts after this patch is
applied.

The SPARC and PPC targets currently have a fragment of target-specific
information about the -g and -prom options which would be better placed
as part of the general documentation of those options in qemu-options.hx.
Move the relevant information to those locations.
SPARC also has a bit of text about the -M option which is out of
date and provides no useful information over the generic documentation
of that option, so just delete it.
The motivation here is again to avoid having to awkwardly include
this text into the rST version of the qemu.1 manpage.

Apart from targets.rst, which was written by hand, this is an automated
conversion obtained with the following command:
makeinfo --force -o - --docbook \
-D 'qemu_system_x86 QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO' \
-D 'qemu_system QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \
$texi | pandoc -f docbook -t rst+smart | perl -e '
$/=undef;
$_ = <>;
s/^- − /- /gm;
s/QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO/|qemu_system|/g;
s/QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO/|qemu_system_x86|/g;
s/(?=::\n\n +\|qemu)/.. parsed-literal/g;
s/:\n\n::$/::/gm;
print' > $rst
In addition, the following changes were made manually:
- target-i386.rst and target-mips.rst: replace CPU model documentation with
an include directive
- monitor.rst: replace the command section with a comment
- images.rst: add toctree
- target-arm.rst: Replace use of :math: (which Sphinx complains
about) with :sup:, and hide it behind |I2C| and |I2C| substitutions.
Content that is not @included remains exclusive to qemu-doc.texi.
