[PULL 2/5] qapi: Make section headings start a new doc comment block

[Markus Armbruster]

Our current QAPI doc-comment markup allows section headers (introduced
with a leading '=' or '==') anywhere in a free-form documentation
comment.  This works for Texinfo because the generator simply prints a
Texinfo section command at that point in the output stream.  For rST
generation, since we're assembling a tree of docutils nodes, this is
awkward because a new section implies starting a new section node at
the top level of the tree and generating text into there.

Make section headers start a new free-form documentation block, so the
future rST document generator doesn't have to look at every line in
free-form blocks and handle headings in odd places.

This change makes no difference to the generated Texinfo.
