docs/qapi-domain: add qapi:event directive

Adds the .. qapi:event:: directive, object, and :qapi:event:`name`
cross-referencing role.

Adds the :memb type name: field list syntax for documenting event data
members. As this syntax and phrasing will be shared with Structs and
Unions as well, add the field list definition to a shared abstract
class.

As per usual, QAPI cross-referencing for types in the member field list
will be added in a forthcoming commit.
