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

Browse source 
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.

Descriptions of arguments can span multiple lines. The description
text can start on the line following the '@argname:', in which case it
must not be indented at all. It can also start on the same line as
the '@argname:'. In this case if it spans multiple lines then second
and subsequent lines must be indented to line up with the first
character of the first line of the description:
# @argone:
# This is a two line description
# in the first style.
#
# @argtwo: This is a two line description
# in the second style.
The number of spaces between the ':' and the text is not significant.
FIXME: the parser accepts these things in almost any order.
FIXME: union branches should be described, too.

The text of a section can start on a new line, in

multiline argument descriptions.
A 'Since: x.y.z' tagged section lists the release that introduced the
