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).
