The remaining text in docs/barrier.txt is user-facing description
of what the device is and how to use it. Move this into the
system manual and rstify it.

docs/barrier.txt has a couple of TODO notes about things to be
implemented in this device; move them into a comment in the
source code.

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.

This allows to receive mouse and keyboard events from
a Barrier server.
This is enabled by adding the following parameter on the
command line
... -object input-barrier,id=$id,name=$name ...
Where $name is the name declared in the screens section of barrier.conf
The barrier server (barriers) must be configured and must run on the
local host.
For instance:
section: screens
localhost:
...
VM-1:
...
end
section: links
localhost:
right = VM-1
VM-1:
left = localhost
end
Then on the QEMU command line:
... -object input-barrier,id=barrie0,name=VM-1 ...
When the mouse will move out of the screen of the local host on
the right, the mouse and the keyboard will be grabbed and all
related events will be send to the guest OS.
This is usefull when qemu is configured without emulated graphic card
but with a VFIO attached graphic card.
More information about Barrier can be found at:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
This avoids to install the Barrier server in the guest OS,
for instance when it is not supported or during the installation.
