Eliminate the "Example" sections in QAPI doc blocks, converting them
into QMP example code blocks. This is generally done by converting
"Example:" or "Examples:" lines into ".. code-block:: QMP" lines.

This patch does also allow for the use of the rST syntax "Example::" by
exempting double-colon syntax from the QAPI doc parser, but that form is
not used by this conversion patch. The phrase "Example" here is not
special, it is the double-colon syntax that transforms the following
block into a code-block. By default, *this* form does not apply QMP
highlighting.

This patch has several benefits:

1. Example sections can now be written more arbitrarily, mixing
   explanatory paragraphs and code blocks however desired.

2. Example sections can now use fully arbitrary rST.

3. All code blocks are now lexed and validated as QMP; increasing
   usability of the docs and ensuring validity of example snippets.

4. Each code-block can be captioned independently without bypassing the
   QMP lexer/validator.

For any sections with more than one example, examples are split up into
multiple code-block regions. If annotations are present, those
annotations are converted into code-block captions instead, e.g.

```
Examples:

   1. Lorem Ipsum

   -> { "foo": "bar" }
```

Is rewritten as:

```
.. code-block:: QMP
   :caption: Example: Lorem Ipsum

   -> { "foo": "bar" }
```

This process was only semi-automated:

1. Replace "Examples?:" sections with sed:

sed -i 's|# Example:|# .. code-block:: QMP|' *.json
sed -i 's|# Examples:|# .. code-block:: QMP|' *.json

2. Identify sections that no longer parse successfully by attempting the
   doc build, convert annotations into captions manually.
   (Tedious, oh well.)

3. Add captions where still needed:

sed -zi 's|# .. code-block:: QMP\n#\n|# .. code-block:: QMP\n#    :caption: Example\n#\n|g' *.json

Not fully ideal, but hopefully not something that has to be done very
often. (Or ever again.)
