qapi: convert "Example" sections with longer prose

These examples require longer explanations or have explanations that
require markup to look reasonable when rendered and so use the longer
form of the ".. qmp-example::" directive.

By using the :annotated: option, the content in the example block is
assumed *not* to be a code block literal and is instead parsed as normal
rST - with the exception that any code literal blocks after `::` will
assumed to be a QMP code literal block.

Note: There's one title-less conversion in this patch that comes along
for the ride because it's part of a larger "Examples" block that was
better to convert all at once.

See commit-5: "docs/qapidoc: create qmp-example directive", for a
detailed explanation of this custom directive syntax.

See commit+1: "qapi: remove "Example" doc section" for a detailed
explanation of why.

qapi: convert "Example" sections with titles

When an Example section has a brief explanation, convert it to a
qmp-example:: section using the :title: option.

Rule of thumb: If the title can fit on a single line and requires no rST
markup, it's a good candidate for using the :title: option of
qmp-example.

In this patch, trailing punctuation is removed from the title section
for consistent headline aesthetics. In just one case, specifics of the
example are removed to make the title read better.

Use the no-option form of ".. qmp-example::" to convert any Examples

that in a few cases, example sections are split into two or more

qapi: convert "Note" sections to plain rST

We do not need a dedicated section for notes. By eliminating a specially
parsed section, these notes can be treated as normal rST paragraphs in
the new QMP reference manual, and can be placed and styled much more
flexibly.

Convert all existing "Note" and "Notes" sections to pure rST. As part of
the conversion, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and add
trailing punctuation where appropriate to ensure notes look sensible and
consistent in rendered HTML documentation. Markup is also re-aligned to
the de-facto standard of 3 spaces for directives.

Update docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst to reflect the new paradigm, and
update the QAPI parser to prohibit "Note" sections while suggesting a
new syntax. The exact formatting to use is a matter of taste, but a good
candidate is simply:

.. note:: lorem ipsum ...
... dolor sit amet ...
... consectetur adipiscing elit ...

... but there are other choices, too. The Sphinx readthedocs theme
offers theming for the following forms (capitalization unimportant); all
are adorned with a (!) symbol () in the title bar for rendered HTML
docs.

See
https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/demo/demo.html#admonitions
for examples of each directive/admonition in use.

These are rendered in orange:

.. Attention:: ...
.. Caution:: ...
.. WARNING:: ...

These are rendered in red:

.. DANGER:: ...
.. Error:: ...

These are rendered in green:

.. Hint:: ...
.. Important:: ...
.. Tip:: ...

These are rendered in blue:

.. Note:: ...
.. admonition:: custom title

admonition body text

This patch uses ".. note::" almost everywhere, with just two "caution"
directives. Several instances of "Notes:" have been converted to
merely ".. note::", or multiple ".. note::" where appropriate.
".. admonition:: notes" is used in a few places where we had an
ordered list of multiple notes that would not make sense as
standalone/separate admonitions. Two "Note:" following "Example:"
have been turned into ordinary paragraphs within the example.

NOTE: Because qapidoc.py does not attempt to preserve source ordering of
sections, the conversion of Notes from a "tagged section" to an
"untagged section" means that rendering order for some notes *may
change* as a result of this patch. The forthcoming qapidoc.py rewrite
strictly preserves source ordering in the rendered documentation, so
this issue will be rectified in the new generator.

block: add 'force' parameter to 'blockdev-change-medium' command

'blockdev-change-medium' is a convinient wrapper for the following
sequence of commands:
* blockdev-open-tray
* blockdev-remove-medium
* blockdev-insert-medium
* blockdev-close-tray
and should be used f.e. to change ISO image inside the CD-ROM tray.
Though the guest could lock the tray and some linux guests like
CentOS 8.5 actually does that. In this case the execution if this
command results in the error like the following:
Device 'scsi0-0-1-0' is locked and force was not specified,
wait for tray to open and try again.

This situation is could be resolved 'blockdev-open-tray' by passing
flag 'force' inside. Thus is seems reasonable to add the same
capability for 'blockdev-change-medium' too.
