[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 01/17] qapi: Belatedly document modular code generation

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

We generate code for built-ins and sub-modules into separate files
since commit cdb6610ae42 and 252dc3105fc (v2.12.0).  Both commits
neglected to update documentation.  Do that now.
