Peter Maydell ca1145ee88 tests/qapi-schema: Add test of the rST QAPI doc-comment output
Add a test of the rST output from the QAPI doc-comment generator,
similar to what we currently have that tests the Texinfo output.

This is a bit more awkward with Sphinx, because the generated output
is not 100% under our control the way the QAPI-to-Texinfo generator
was. We can't observe the data we generate, only the Sphinx
output. Two issues.

One, the output can vary with the Sphinx version. In practice Sphinx's
plaintext output generation has been identical between at least Sphinx
1.6 and 3.0, so we use that. (The HTML output has had changes across
versions). We use an exact-match comparison check, with the
understanding that perhaps changes in a future Sphinx version might
require us to implement something more clever to cope with variation
in the output.

Two, the test can only protect us from changes in the data we generate
that are visible in plain text.

Test Sphinx manual that pulls in the test schema file. We will generate
a plain-text output file and compare it against a reference.
