Markus Armbruster 01bed0ff14 qapi: Refill doc comments to conform to conventions
Sweep the entire documentation again.  Last done in commit
209e64d9ed (qapi: Refill doc comments to conform to current
conventions).

To check the generated documentation does not change, I compared the
generated HTML before and after this commit with "wdiff -3".  Finds no
differences.  Comparing with diff is not useful, as the reflown
paragraphs are visible there.
