docs: Create defs.rst.inc as a place to define substitutions
Rather than accumulating generally useful rST substitution definitions in individual rST files, create a defs.rst.inc where we can define these. To start with it has the |qemu_system| definition from qemu-block-drivers.rst. Add a comment noting a pitfall where putting literal markup in the definition of |qemu_system| makes it misrender manpage output; this means the point-of-use must handle the literal markup (which is almost always done by having it inside a parsed-literal block).

+ Generally useful rST substitution definitions. This is included for
+ all rST files as part of the epilogue by docs/conf.py. conf.py
+ also defines some dynamically generated substitutions like CONFDIR.
+
+ Note that |qemu_system| is intended to be used inside a parsed-literal
+ block: the definition must not include extra literal formatting with
+ ``..``: this works in the HTML output but the manpages will end up
+ misrendered with following normal text incorrectly in boldface.
