[RFC,v2,25/35] docs/qapi-domain: add :ifcond: directive option

Commit Message

Add a special :ifcond: option that allows us to annotate the
definition-level conditionals.

RFC: This patch renders IFCOND information in two places, because I'm
undecided about how to style this information. One option is in the
signature bar, and another option is in an eye-catch, like :deprecated:
or :unstable:.

A benefit to having this be a directive option is that we can put it in
the signature bar, the QAPI index, etc. However, if we merely want it in
the content section, a directive would work just as well,
e.g. ".. qapi:ifcond:: CONFIG_LINUX".

(Though, having it be in the same containing box as the unstable/ifcond
boxes might require some extra fiddling/post-processing to
achieve. Generally, the less docutils tree muddling I have to do, the
happier I am.)

The syntax of the argument is currently undefined, but it is possible to
parse it back down into constituent parts to avoid applying literal
formatting to "AND" or "&&" or whichever syntax we formalize. (Or, in
the future, applying cross-reference links to the config values for
additional reading on some of those build options. Not for this series.)

"Vote now on your phones!"
