[PATCH 05/11] docs/qapi-domain: add qapi:namespace directive

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Add a new directive that marks the beginning of a QAPI "namespace", for
example; "QMP", "QGA" or "QSD". This directive will associate all
subsequent QAPI directives in a document with the specified
namespace. This does not change the visual display of any of the
definitions or index entries, but does change the "Fully Qualified Name"
inside the QAPI domain's object table. This allows for two different
"namespaces" to define entities with otherwise identical names -- which
will come in handy for documenting both QEMU QMP and the QEMU Storage
Daemon.

+qapi:namespace
+--------------
+
+The ``qapi:namespace`` directive marks the start of a QAPI namespace. It
+does not take a content body, nor any options. All subsequent QAPI
+directives are associated with the most recent namespace. This affects
+the definition's "fully qualified name", allowing two different
+namespaces to create an otherwise identically named definition.
+
+Example::
+
+   .. qapi:namespace:: QMP
+
+
+This directive has no visible effect.
