Peter Maydell d95f260aee docs/devel/docs: Document .hx file syntax
We don't currently document the syntax of .hx files anywhere
except in a few comments at the top of individual .hx files.
We don't even have somewhere in the developer docs where we
could do this.

Add a new files docs/devel/docs.rst which can be a place to
document how our docs build process works. For the moment,
put in only a brief introductory paragraph and the documentation
of the .hx files. We could later add to this file by for
example describing how the QAPI-schema-to-docs process works,
or anything else that developers might need to know about
how to add documentation.

Make the .hx files refer to this doc file, and clean
up their header comments to be more accurate for the
usage in each file and less cut-n-pasted.

HXCOMM
HXCOMM Keep the list of subcommands sorted by name.
HXCOMM Use DEFHEADING() to define headings in both help text and rST
HXCOMM Text between SRST and ERST are copied to rST version and
HXCOMM discarded from C version
HXCOMM DEF(command, callback, arg_string) is used to construct
HXCOMM command structures and help message.
HXCOMM HXCOMM can be used for comments, discarded from both rST and C
HXCOMM When amending the rST sections, please remember to copy the usage
HXCOMM over to the per-command sections in docs/tools/qemu-img.rst.
