Doc comment lines starting with '|' are examples.  qapi2texi.py puts
each line in its own @example environment, which is wrong.
Fortunately, this kind of example markup is used in just one place
outside tests.  Replace it by Texinfo markup, and drop the '|'
feature.

tests/qapi-schema/doc-good.texi changes, because unlike the '|'
markup, !texinfo terminates lists.  See the FIXME in texi_format().
