2021-08-25docs/about/removed-features: Move some CLI options to the right locationThomas Huth
Some of the removed CLI options have been added to the wrong section in the "Removed features" chapter - they've been put into the "Related binaries" section instead. Move them now into the correct "System emulator command line arguments" section. Message-Id: <20210818112908.102205-1-thuth@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
2021-08-25docs/about: Add the missing release record in the subjectYanan Wang
Commit 29e0447551 (docs/about/removed-features: Document removed CLI options from QEMU v3.1) has recorded some CLI options as replaced/removed from QEMU v3.1, but one of the subjects has missed the release record. Let's fix it.

2021-08-25docs/about: Unify the subject formatYanan Wang
There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z" in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to standardize on. So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".

There are two places describing the same thing about deprecation of invalid topologies of -smp CLI, so remove the duplicated one.

2021-08-02docs/about/removed-features: Fix markup errorPeter Maydell
The section describing the removed feature "-usbdevice ccid" had a typo so the markup started with single backtick and ended with double backtick; fix it.

2021-08-02docs: Format literals correctlyPeter Maydell
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.

2021-07-18docs: Move deprecation, build and license info out of system/Peter Maydell
Now that we have a single Sphinx manual rather than multiple manuals, we can provide a better place for "common to all of QEMU" information like the deprecation notices, build platforms, license information, which we currently have in the system/ manual even though it applies to all of QEMU. Create a new directory about/ on the same level as system/, user/, etc, and move these documents there.
