Subject: [PATCH] qapi: Use rST markup for literal blocks

There are exactly two places in our json doc comments where we
use the markup accepted by the texi doc generator where a '|' in
the first line of a doc comment means the line should be emitted
as a literal block (fixed-width font, whitespace preserved).

Since we use this syntax so rarely, instead of making the rST
generator support it, instead just convert the two uses to
rST-format literal blocks, which are indented and introduced
with '::'.

(The rST generator doesn't complain about the old style syntax,
it just emits it with the '|' and with the whitespace not
preserved, which looks odd, but means we can safely leave this
change until after we've stopped generating texinfo.)
