    [PATCH v4 0/4] qapi: add auto-generated return docs

Hi, this patch series is a *mostly* mechanical application of QAPI
cross-references to the QAPI/QMP documentation. I exported all
cross-referenceable symbols from the QMP QAPI schema and ran them
through a script that converted any matching words to a cross-reference.

I then used `git add -p` and only added changes that looked reasonable,
omitting many cases of converting common words like "stop",
"transaction", "eject", "String" etc when it wasn't immediately clear
that it was appropriate. I probably missed a few ... in either
direction.

I'd like to ask maintainers for each subsystem to review the changes and
confirm that they make sense. To make it easy for you, here's a link to
each module that was changed, in order:

A few benefits of doing this:

(1) It makes the docs easier to navigate for users, being able to just
    click to the referred data type / enum / event / command / etc.

(2) It helps prevent bitrot: if the name of a command / event / data
    type / etc changes, the cross-reference will cause the build to
    fail, giving a needed hint that documentation elsewhere needs to be
    updated.

(3) Prompting the maintainers to review the generated HTML documentation
    O:-)

A few hints for maintainers should they wish to try their own hand at
improving the documentation for their subsystems:

 *  Try building docs from your build directory like this:
    > DEBUG=1 pyvenv/bin/sphinx-build -v -j 1 -b html -d docs/manual.p/ ../docs/ docs/manual/;

    Limiting to one thread makes sphinx errors more verbose (and
    helpful), and if you run into rST formatting errors, you can view
    the 'qapi_qapi-schema.ir' artifact in the build directory (DEBUG=1
    causes this to exist) to examine the intermediate rST source code so
    you don't have to fight with the QAPI parsing subsystem to
    understand what happened.

 *  html docs of interest will be in
    docs/manual/interop/qemu-qmp-ref.html

 *  QMP reference index will be at docs/manual/qapi-qmp-index.html

 *  QAPI-specific cross-referencing syntax is documented at
    https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/qapi-domain.html#cross-references

 *  QMP Example syntax is documented towards the bottom of this QAPI
    codegen section:
    https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/qapi-code-gen.html#definition-documentation
