qapi: add qapi2texi script
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).

It parses the following kind of blocks:

Free-form:

  ##
  # = Section
  # == Subsection
  #
  # Some text foo with *emphasis*
  # 1. with a list
  # 2. like that
  #
  # And some code:
  # | $ echo foo
  # | -> do this
  # | <- get that
  #
  ##

Symbol description:

  ##
  # @symbol:
  #
  # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
  # baz ding.
  #
  # @param1: the frob to frobnicate
  # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
  #
  # Returns: the frobnicated frob.
  #          If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
  #
  # Since: version
  # Notes: notes, comments can have
  #        - itemized list
  #        - like this
  #
  # Example:
  #
  # -> { "execute": "quit" }
  # <- { "return": {} }
  #
  ##

That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:

api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ]  "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup

Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment.  The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.

See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.

Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
  to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code
