Sweep the entire documentation again. Last done in commit
7270819384 (qga/qapi-schema: Refill doc comments to conform to
current conventions).
To check the generated documentation does not change, I compared the
generated HTML before and after this commit with "wdiff -3". Finds no
differences. Comparing with diff is not useful, as the reflown
paragraphs are visible there.

"Returns: <description>" is rendered like
Return: <Type> – <description>
Mentioning the type in the description again is commonly redundant.
There is just one such description. Rephrase it not to mention the
type.
We did this for qapi/ in commit f7296f8de5 (qapi: rephrase return
docs to avoid type name).

The QAPI doc generator recently started to auto-generate return
documentation when there is no "Returns:" section (commit 636c96cd77
"qapi: Fix undocumented return values by generating something").
Remove "Returns:" sections where the auto-generated text is obviously
no worse. For instance, guest-info's documentation changes from
Return:
GuestAgentInfo -- GuestAgentInfo
to
Return:
GuestAgentInfo
The auto-generated returns all are in the exact same spot.
We did this for qapi/ in commit 0462da9d6b (qapi: remove trivial
"Returns:" sections).

Tagged sections are only recognized at the beginning of a paragraph.
guest-network-get-route's Returns: isn't, and therefore gets rendered
as ordinary text within its paragraph:
Retrieve information about route of network. Returns: List of route
info of guest.
Since there is no (recognized) Returns: section, the doc generator
adds
Return:
[GuestNetworkRoute]
Note: only since recent commit 636c96cd77 (qapi: Fix undocumented
return values by generating something).
Insert the required blank line so that Returns: is recognized.
Result:
Retrieve information about route of network.
Return:
[GuestNetworkRoute] -- List of route info of guest.

Provide a way to report the process load average, via a new
'guest-get-load' command.
This is only implemented for POSIX platforms providing 'getloadavg'.
Example illustrated with qmp-shell:
(QEMU) guest-get-load
{
"return": {
"load15m": 1.546875,
"load1m": 1.669921875,
"load5m": 1.9306640625
}
}
Windows has no native equivalent API, but it would be possible to
simulate it as illustrated here (BSD-3-Clause):

The note talks about "unsupported" errors and QERR_UNSUPPORTED. The
former is vague, and the latter makes sense only in C, not in external
interface documentation. Fortunately, we don't have to address this
anymore: recent merge commit 3b5efc553e got rid of these errors.

Rather than creating stubs for every command that just return
QERR_UNSUPPORTED, use 'if' conditions in the QAPI schema to
fully exclude generation of the commands on other UNIX.
The command will be rejected at QMP dispatch time instead,
avoiding reimplementing rejection by blocking the stub commands.
This changes the error message for affected commands from
{"class": "CommandNotFound", "desc": "Command FOO has been disabled"}
to
{"class": "CommandNotFound", "desc": "The command FOO has not been found"}
This has the additional benefit that the QGA protocol reference
now documents what conditions enable use of the command.

We do not need a dedicated section for notes. By eliminating a specially
parsed section, these notes can be treated as normal rST paragraphs in
the new QMP reference manual, and can be placed and styled much more
flexibly.
Convert all existing "Note" and "Notes" sections to pure rST. As part of
the conversion, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and add
trailing punctuation where appropriate to ensure notes look sensible and
consistent in rendered HTML documentation. Markup is also re-aligned to
the de-facto standard of 3 spaces for directives.
Update docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst to reflect the new paradigm, and
update the QAPI parser to prohibit "Note" sections while suggesting a
new syntax. The exact formatting to use is a matter of taste, but a good
candidate is simply:
.. note:: lorem ipsum ...
... dolor sit amet ...
... consectetur adipiscing elit ...
... but there are other choices, too. The Sphinx readthedocs theme
offers theming for the following forms (capitalization unimportant); all
are adorned with a (!) symbol () in the title bar for rendered HTML
docs.
See
https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/demo/demo.html#admonitions
for examples of each directive/admonition in use.
These are rendered in orange:
.. Attention:: ...
.. Caution:: ...
.. WARNING:: ...
These are rendered in red:
.. DANGER:: ...
.. Error:: ...
These are rendered in green:
.. Hint:: ...
.. Important:: ...
.. Tip:: ...
These are rendered in blue:
.. Note:: ...
.. admonition:: custom title
admonition body text
This patch uses ".. note::" almost everywhere, with just two "caution"
directives. Several instances of "Notes:" have been converted to
merely ".. note::", or multiple ".. note::" where appropriate.
".. admonition:: notes" is used in a few places where we had an
ordered list of multiple notes that would not make sense as
standalone/separate admonitions. Two "Note:" following "Example:"
have been turned into ordinary paragraphs within the example.
NOTE: Because qapidoc.py does not attempt to preserve source ordering of
sections, the conversion of Notes from a "tagged section" to an
"untagged section" means that rendering order for some notes *may
change* as a result of this patch. The forthcoming qapidoc.py rewrite
strictly preserves source ordering in the rendered documentation, so
this issue will be rectified in the new generator.
