2021-11-08tests/acceptance: rename tests acceptance to tests avocadoWillian Rampazzo
In the discussion about renaming the `tests/acceptance` [1], the conclusion was that the folders inside `tests` are related to the framework running the tests and not directly related to the type of the tests. This changes the folder to `tests/avocado` and adjusts the MAKEFILE, the CI related files and the documentation.

2021-11-08docs: remove non-reference uses of single backticksJohn Snow
The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently, Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a cross-reference. This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments. Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the "content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

Man pages in docs/system use file inclusion heavily. Use headings with overlines in the main files, so that the same included file work well from both manuals and man pages. This style of heading is a bit more heavy-weight, so it is not used by the other man pages in interop/ and tools/. If in the future they are changed to use include files, for example to avoid having sections named "synopsis" or "description", they can switch to --- with overline as well.

Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory. Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g. === for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

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). To format a literal (generally rendered as fixed-width font), double-backticks are required. protvirt.rst consistently uses single backticks when double backticks are required; correct it.

2021-08-02docs: Move licence/copyright from HTML output to rST commentsPeter Maydell
Our built HTML documentation now has a standard footer which gives the license for QEMU (and its documentation as a whole). In almost all pages, we either don't bother to state the copyright/license for the individual rST sources, or we put it in an rST comment. There are just three pages which render copyright or license information into the user-visible HTML. Quoting a specific (different) license for an individual HTML page within the manual is confusing. Downgrade the license and copyright info to a comment within the rST source, bringing these pages in line with the rest of our documents.
