docs/qapi-domain: add "Arguments:" field lists

This adds special rendering for Sphinx's typed info field lists.

This patch does not add any QAPI-aware markup, rendering, or
cross-referencing for the type names, yet. That feature requires a
subclass to TypedField which will happen in its own commit quite a bit
later in this series; after all the basic fields and objects have been
established first.

The syntax for this field is:

:arg type name: description
   description cont'd

You can omit the type or the description. You should not omit the name;
if you do so, it degenerates into a "normal field list" entry, and
probably isn't what you want.
