We can now delete the old .texi files, which we have been keeping in
the tree as a parallel set of documentation to the new rST sources.
The only remaining use of Texinfo is the autogenerated manuals
and HTML documents created from the QAPI JSON doc comments.

The qemu-img documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
* a qemu-img manpage
* a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation
Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
* a qemu-img manpage
* part of the interop/ Sphinx manual
The qemu-img rST document uses the new hxtool extension
to handle pulling rST fragments out of qemu-img-cmds.hx.
The documentation of the various options and commands is rather
muddled, with some options being described inside the relevant
command description and some in a more general section near the start
of the manual. All the command synopses are replicated in the .hx
file and then again in the manual. A lot of text is also duplicated
in the qemu-img.c code for the help text. I have not attempted to
deal with any of this, but have simply transposed the existing
structure into rST.
As usual, there are some minor formatting changes but no
textual changes, except that as with one or two other conversions
I have dropped the 'see also' section since it's not very
informative and looks odd in the HTML.

The qemu-block-drivers documentation is currently in
docs/qemu-block-drivers.texi in Texinfo format, which we present
to the user as:
* a qemu-block-drivers manpage
* a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation
Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to
the user as:
* a qemu-block-drivers manpage
* part of the system/ Sphinx manual
This follows the same pattern we've done for qemu-ga and qemu-nbd.
We have to drop a cross-reference from the documentation of the
-cdrom option back to the qemu-block-drivers documentation, since
they're no longer within the same texinfo document.
As noted in a comment, the manpage output is slightly compromised
due to limitations in Sphinx. In an ideal world, the HTML output
would have the various headings like 'Disk image file formats'
as top-level section headings (which then appear in the overall
system manual's table-of-contents), and it would not have the
section headings which make sense only for the manpage like
'synopsis', 'description', and 'see also'. Unfortunately, the
mechanism Sphinx provides for restricting pieces of documentation
is limited to the point of being flawed: the 'only::' directive
is implemented as a filter that is applied at a very late stage
in the document processing pipeline, rather than as an early
equivalent of an #ifdef. This means that Sphinx's process of
identifying which section heading markup styles are which levels
of heading gets confused if the 'only::' directive contains
section headings which would affect the heading-level of a
later heading. I have opted to prioritise making the HTML format
look better, with the compromise being that in the manpage
the 'Disk image file formats' &c headings are top-level headings
rather than being sub-headings under the traditional 'Description'
top-level section title.

The qemu-nbd documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation
Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* part of the interop/ Sphinx manual
This follows the same pattern as commit 27a296fce982 did for the
qemu-ga manpage.
All the content of the old manpage is retained, except that I have
dropped the "This is free software; see the source for copying
conditions. There is NO warranty..." text that was in the old AUTHOR
section; Sphinx's manpage builder doesn't expect that much text in
the AUTHOR section, and since none of our other manpages have it it
seems easiest to delete it rather than try to figure out where else
in the manpage to put it.
The only other textual change is that I have had to give the
--nocache option its own description ("Equivalent to --cache=none")
because Sphinx doesn't have an equivalent of using item/itemx
to share a description between two options.
Some minor aspects of the formatting have changed, to suit what is
easiest for Sphinx to output. (The most notable is that Sphinx
option section option syntax doesn't support '--option foo=bar'
with bar underlined rather than bold, so we have to switch to
'--option foo=BAR' instead.)
The contents of qemu-option-trace.texi are now duplicated in
docs/interop/qemu-option-trace.rst.inc, until such time as we complete
the conversion of the other files which use it; since it has had only
3 changes in 3 years, this shouldn't be too awkward a burden.
(We use .rst.inc because if this file fragment has a .rst extension
then Sphinx complains about not seeing it in a toctree.)

The LinuxInitrd.test_with_2gib_file_should_work_with_linux_v4_16 test,
from tests/acceptance/linux_initrd.py, is currently failing to fetch
the "vmlinuz" file. The reason for the failure is that the Fedora
project retires older versions from the "dl.fedoraproject.org" URL,
and keeps them in "archives.fedoraproject.org". As an added note,
that test uses a Fedora 28 image, because of the specific Linux kernel
version requirements of the test.
For the sake of stability, let's use URLs from the archived and
supposedely ever stable URLs. The good news is that the currently
supported versions are also hosted on the later. This change limits
itself to change the URLs, while keeping the fetched files the same
(as can be evidenced by the unchanged hashes).
Documentation and the "vm tests" fedora definition were also updated.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.

With the recent set of CPU hardware vulnerabilities on x86, it is
increasingly difficult to understand which CPU configurations are
good to use and what flaws they might be vulnerable to.
This doc attempts to help management applications and administrators in
picking sensible CPU configuration on x86 hosts. It outlines which of
the named CPU models are good choices, and describes which extra CPU
flags should be enabled to allow the guest to mitigate hardware flaws.

Consumers of QEMU need to track feature deprecation. Keeping
deprecation documentation in its own file helps in two small ways:
* You can track changes the easy and obvious way, with git-log.
Before, you had to resort to more complex gittery like "git-log
--oneline -L '/@node Deprecated features/,/@node Supported build
platforms/:qemu-doc.texi'"
* It lets us use MAINTAINERS to copy interested parties on deprecation
patches, so they can advise or object before they're a done deal.
The next commit will do that for libvirt.

Adjust each caller of raw_open_common to specify if they are expecting
host and character devices or not. Tighten expectations of file types upon
open in the common code and refuse types that are not expected.
This has two effects:
(1) Character and block devices are now considered deprecated for the
'file' driver, which expects only S_IFREG, and
(2) no file-posix driver (file, host_cdrom, or host_device) can open
directories now.
I don't think there's a legitimate reason to open directories as if
they were files. This prevents QEMU from opening and attempting to probe
a directory inode, which can break in exciting ways. One of those ways
is lseek on ext4/xfs, which will return 0x7fffffffffffffff as the file
size instead of EISDIR. This can coax QEMU into responding with a
confusing "file too big" instead of "Hey, that's not a file".

Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS
connections than using certificates. It requires only a simple secret
key:
$ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
$ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
$ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk
rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc
The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers. Clients
must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a
username (defaults to "qemu"). Servers must specify only the
directory.
Example NBD client:
$ qemu-img info \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \
--image-opts \
file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/
Example NBD server using qemu-nbd:
$ qemu-nbd -t -x / \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
--tls-creds tls0 \
image.qcow2
Example NBD server using nbdkit:
$ nbdkit -n -e / -fv \
--tls=on --tls-psk=/tmp/keys/keys.psk \
file file=disk.img

We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.
Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

The oldest machine type which is still used in a still maintained distro
is a pc-0.12 based machine type in RHEL6, so everything that is older
than pc-0.12 should not be used anymore. Thus let's deprecate pc-0.10
and pc-0.11 so that we can finally remove them in a future release.

The -drive options cyls, heads, secs and trans were deprecated in
QEMU 2.10. It's time to remove them.
hd-geo-test tested both the old version with geometry options in -drive
and the new one with -device. Therefore the code using -drive doesn't
have to be replaced there, we just need to remove the -drive test cases.
This in turn allows some simplification of the code.

VIO devices have an "irq" property that can be used by the sPAPR IRQ
allocator as an IRQ number hint. But it is not set in QEMU nor in
libvirt. It brings unnecessary complexity to the underlying layers
managing the IRQ number space and it is in full opposition with the
new static IRQ allocator we want to introduce in sPAPR.
Let's deprecate it to simplify the spapr_irq_alloc routine in the
future.
