qapi: Relax doc string @name: description indentation rules

The QAPI schema doc comment language provides special syntax for
command and event arguments, struct and union members, alternate
branches

qapi: Relax doc string @name: description indentation rules

The QAPI schema doc comment language provides special syntax for
command and event arguments, struct and union members, alternate
branches, enumeration values, and features: descriptions starting with
"@name:".

By convention, we format them like this:

# @name: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
# sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore
# magna aliqua.

Okay for names as short as "name", but we have much longer ones. Their
description gets squeezed against the right margin, like this:

# @dirty-sync-missed-zero-copy: Number of times dirty RAM synchronization could
# not avoid copying dirty pages. This is between
# 0 and @dirty-sync-count * @multifd-channels.
# (since 7.1)

The description text is effectively just 50 characters wide. Easy
enough to read, but can be cumbersome to write.

The awkward squeeze against the right margin makes people go beyond it,
which produces two undesirables: arguments about style, and descriptions
that are unnecessarily hard to read, like this one:

# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is
# only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability
# is enabled. (Since 3.0)

We could instead format it like

# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime:
# list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present
# when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is
# enabled. (Since 3.0)

or, since the commit before previous, like

# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime:
# list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present
# when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is
# enabled. (Since 3.0)

However, I'd rather have

# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU.
# This is only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration
# capability is enabled. (Since 3.0)

because this is how rST field and option lists work.

To get this, we need to let the first non-blank line after the
"@name:" line determine expected indentation.

This fills up the indentation pitfall mentioned in
docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst. A related pitfall still exists. Update
the text to show it.

scripts/qapi/parser.py: improve doc comment indent handling

Make the handling of indentation in doc comments more sophisticated,
so that when we see a section like:

Notes: some text
some more text
indented line 3

we save it for the doc-comment processing code as:

some text
some more text
indented line 3

and when we see a section with the heading on its own line:

Notes:

some text
some more text
indented text

we also accept that and save it in the same form.

If we detect that the comment document text is not indented as much
as we expect it to be, we throw a parse error. (We don't complain
about over-indented sections, because for rST this can be legitimate
markup.)

The golden reference for the doc comment text is updated to remove
the two 'wrong' indents; these now form a test case that we correctly
stripped leading whitespace from an indented multi-line argument
definition.

We update the documentation in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt to
describe the new indentation rules.
