Implement the actual main dispatch method that processes and handles the
list of doc sections for a given QAPI entity.
Process doc sections in strict source order. This is good; reordering
doc text is undesirable. Improvement over the old doc generator, which
can reorder doc comments that don't adhere to (largely unspoken)
conventions.

This method is used for generating the "members" of a wide variety of
things, including structs, unions, enums, alternates, etc. The field
name it uses to do so is dependent on the type of entity the "member"
belongs to.
Currently, IF conditionals for individual members are not handled or
rendered, a small regression from the prior documentation
generator. This will be fixed in a future patch.

Prepare to keep a record of which entity we're working on documenting
for the purposes of being able to change certain generative features
conditionally and create stronger assertions.
If you find yourself asking: "Wait, but where does the current entity
actually get recorded?!", you're right! That part comes with the
visit_entity() implementation, which gets added later.
This patch is front-loaded for the sake of type checking in the

We have several kinds of sections, and to tell them apart, we use
Section attribute @tag and also the section object's Python type:
type @tag
untagged Section None
@foo: ArgSection 'foo'
Returns: Section 'Returns'
Errors: Section 'Errors'
Since: Section 'Since'
TODO: Section 'TODO'
Note:
* @foo can be a member or a feature description, depending on context.
* tag == 'Since' can be a Since: section or a member or feature
description. If it's a Section, it's the former, and if it's an
ArgSection, it's the latter.
Clean this up as follows. Move the member or feature name to new
ArgSection attribute @name, and replace @tag by enum @kind like this:
type kind name
untagged Section PLAIN
@foo: ArgSection MEMBER 'foo' if member or argument
ArgSection FEATURE 'foo' if feature
Returns: Section RETURNS
Errors: Section ERRORS
Since: Section SINCE
TODO: Section TODO
The qapi-schema tests are updated to account for the new section names;
"TODO" becomes "Todo" and `None` becomes "Plain" there.

Sphinx 5.3.0 to Sphinx 6.2.0 has a bug where nested content in an
ObjectDescription content block has its error position reported
incorrectly due to an oversight when they added nested section support
to this directive.
(This bug is present in Sphinx's own Python and C domains; test it
yourself by creating a py:func directive and creating a syntax error in
the directive's content block. The reporting will be incorrect.)
To avoid overriding and re-implementing the entirety of the run()
method, a workaround is employed where we parse the content block
ourselves in before_content(), then null the content block to make
Sphinx's own parsing a no-op. Then, in transform_content (which occurs
after Sphinx's nested parse), we simply swap our own parsed content tree
back in for Sphinx's.
It appears a little tricky, but it's the nicest solution I can find.

This patch adds a warning (which is a build failure under our current

This applies to any cross-references of the form :qapi:{role}:`foo`,
which covers all of the automatically generated references by the qapi
domain, and any such references that are manually written into the
documentation rst files.
Cross-references of the form `foo` do not use this system, but are
already configured to issue a warning (Again, a build failure) if the
cross-reference isn't found anywhere.
Adds warnings that look like the following:

This commit, finally, adds cross-referencing support to various field
lists; modeled tightly after Sphinx's own Python domain code.
Cross-referencing support is added to type names provided to :arg:,
:memb:, :returns: and :choice:.
:feat:, :error: and :value:, which do not take type names, do not
support this syntax.
The general syntax is simple:
:arg TypeName ArgName: Lorem Ipsum ...
The domain will transform TypeName into :qapi:type:`TypeName` in this
basic case, and also apply the ``literal`` decoration to indicate that
this is a type cross-reference.
For optional arguments, the special "?" suffix is used. Because "*" has
special meaning in rST that would cause parsing errors, we elect to use
"?" instead. The special syntax processing strips this character from
the end of any type name argument and will append ", optional" to the
rendered output, applying the cross-reference only to the actual type
name.
The intent here is that the actual syntax in doc-blocks need not change;
but e.g. qapidoc.py will need to process and transform "@arg foo lorem
ipsum" into ":arg type? foo: lorem ipsum" based on the schema
information. Therefore, nobody should ever actually witness this
intermediate syntax unless they are writing manual documentation or the
doc transmogrifier breaks.
For array arguments, type names can similarly be surrounded by "[]",
which are stripped off and then re-appended outside of the
cross-reference.

Normally, Sphinx will silently fall back to its standard field list
processing if it doesn't match one of your defined fields. A lot of the
time, that's not what we want - we want to be warned if we goof
something up.
For instance, the canonical argument field list form is:
:arg type name: descr
This form is captured by Sphinx and transformed so that the field label
will become "Arguments:". It's possible to omit the type name and descr
and still have it be processed correctly. However, if you omit the type
name, Sphinx no longer recognizes it:
:arg: this is not recognized.
This will turn into an arbitrary field list entry whose label is "Arg:",
and it otherwise silently fails. You may also see failures for doing
things like using :values: instead of :value:, or :errors: instead of
:error:, and so on. It's also case sensitive, and easy to trip up.
Add a validator that guarantees all field list entries that are the
direct child of an ObjectDescription use only recognized forms of field
lists, and emit a warning (treated as error by default in most build
configurations) whenever we detect one that is goofed up.
However, there's still benefit to allowing arbitrary fields -- they are
after all not a Sphinx invention, but perfectly normal docutils
syntax. Create an allow list for known spellings we don't mind letting
through, but warn against anything else.

commit.
The syntax of the new field is:
:return TypeName: description

This patch adds "Return" as a GroupedField, which means that multiple
return values can be annotated - this is only done because Sphinx does
not support mandatory type arguments to Ungrouped fields. Because we
want to cross-reference this type information later, we want to make the
type argument mandatory. As a result, you can technically add multiple
:return: fields, though I'm not aware of any circumstance in which you'd
need or want to. Recommendation: "Don't do that, then." The forthcoming

means new :qapi:any:`block-core` referencing syntax.
The :any: role will find anything registered to the QAPI domain,
including modules, commands, events, etc.
Creating the cross-references is powered by the QAPIXRefRole class;
resolving them is handled by QAPIDomain.resolve_xref().
QAPIXrefRole is based heavily on Sphinx's own PyXrefRole, with
modifications necessary for QAPI features.

Add the ability to resolve cross-references using the `any`
cross-reference syntax. Adding QAPI-specific cross-reference roles will
be added in a forthcoming commit, and will share the same find_obj()
helper.
(There's less code needed for the generic cross-reference resolver, so
it comes first in this series.)
Once again, this code is based very heavily on sphinx.domains.python.

Use the QAPI object registry to generate a special index just for QAPI
definitions. The index can show entries both by definition type and all
together, alphabetically.
The index can be linked from anywhere in the QEMU manual by using the
reference `qapi-index`.

This is the first step towards QAPI domain cross-references and a QAPI
reference index.
This patch just creates the object registry, and updates the
merge_domaindata stub method now that we have actual data we may need to
merge.
Note that how to handle merge conflict resolution is unhandled, as the
Sphinx python domain itself does not handle it either. I do not know how
to intentionally trigger it, so I've left an assertion instead if it
should ever come up ...

Create a compat module that handles sphinx cross-version compatibility
issues. For the inaugural function, add a nested_parse_with_titles()
helper that handles differences in line number tracking for nested
directive body parsing.
Spoilers: there are more cross-version hacks to come throughout the
series.

A Sphinx domain is a collection of directive and role extensions meant
to facilitate the documentation of a specific language. For instance,
Sphinx ships with "python" and "cpp" domains. This patch introduces a
stub for the "qapi" language domain.
Please see https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/domains/index.html
for more information.
This stub doesn't really do anything yet, we'll get to it brick-by-brick
in the forthcoming commits to keep the series breezy and the git history
informative.

Since commit 3c5f6114 (qapi: remove "Example" doc section), Example
sections no longer exist, so this support in qapidoc is now dead code.

The code as written crashes when a free-form documentation block doesn't
start with a heading or subheading, for example:
| ##
| # Just text, no heading.
| ##
The code will attempt to use the `node` variable uninitialized. To fix,
create a generic block to insert the doc text into.
(This patch also removes a lingering pylint warning in the QAPIDoc
implementation that prevents getting a clean baseline to use for
forthcoming additions.)

When we update the script we should rebuild the docs. Otherwise
breaking changes made to the kdoc script don't become apparent until
later.

Freeform sections with titles are currently generating a TOC entry for
the first paragraph in the section after the header, which is not what
we want.
(Easiest to observe directly in the QMP reference manual's
"Introduction" section.)
When freeform sections are parsed, we create both a section header *and*
an empty, title-less section. This causes some problems with sphinx's
post-parse tree transforms, see also 2664f317 - this is a similar issue:
Sphinx doesn't like section-less titles and it also doesn't like
title-less sections.
Modify qapidoc.py to parse text directly into the preceding section
title as child nodes, eliminating the section duplication. This removes
the extra text from the TOC.
Only very, very lightly tested: "it looks right at a glance" ™️. I am
still in the process of rewriting qapidoc, so I didn't give it much
deeper thought.
