The changes can be divided into four parts: 1. Address deficiencies right at the beginning of the three QMP manuals: * "QEMU QMP Reference Manual" section "Introduction" suffers from bit rot: much of the contents is useless or misleading. * The "QEMU Storage Daemon QMP Reference Manual" and the "QEMU Guest Agent Protocol Reference" lack a proper introduction. * "QEMU Guest Agent Protocol Reference" has a useless table of contents. * "QEMU QMP Reference Manual" and "QEMU Storage Daemon QMP Reference Manual" both have a needlessly ugly table of contents. 2. Render the example notation in these introductions properly. This involves changing *one* line of code in docs/sphinx/qmp_lexer.py. This is the only code change, everything else is documentation. 3. Minor cleanup of rocker QMP documentation 4. Minor improvement of QAPI developer documentation
