docs: Move the protocol part of barrier.txt into interop
Most of docs/barrier.txt is describing the protocol implemented by the input-barrier device. Move this into the interop section of the manual, and rstify it.

+Barrier client protocol
+=======================
+
+QEMU's ``input-barrier`` device implements the client end of
+the KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) software
+`Barrier <https://github.com/debauchee/barrier>`__.
+
+This document briefly describes the protocol as we implement it.
+
+Message format
+--------------
+
+Message format between the server and client is in two parts:
+
+#. the payload length, a 32bit integer in network endianness
+#. the payload
+
+The payload starts with a 4byte string (without NUL) which is the
+command. The first command between the server and the client
+is the only command not encoded on 4 bytes ("Barrier").
+The remaining part of the payload is decoded according to the command.
+
+Protocol Description
+--------------------
+
+This comes from ``barrier/src/lib/barrier/protocol_types.h``.
+
+barrierCmdHello "Barrier"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Direction:
+ server -> client
+Parameters:
+ ``{ int16_t minor, int16_t major }``

+
+ ``minor`` = protocol major version number supported by server
+
+ ``major`` = protocol minor version number supported by server
+

+
+Direction:
+ client ->server
+Parameters:
+ ``{ int16_t minor, int16_t major, char *name}``

+Description:
+ The client screen must send this message in response to the
+ barrierCmdQInfo message. It must also send this message when the
+ screen's resolution changes. In this case, the client screen should
+ ignore any barrierCmdDMouseMove messages until it receives a
+ barrierCmdCInfoAck in order to prevent attempts to move the mouse off
+ the new screen area.

+ modifiers to reflect that state.
+
+barrierCmdCLeave "COUT"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Direction:

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Direction:
+ server -> client
