The .rst files outside docs/{devel,interop,specs} aren't built yet and
therefore a few syntax errors have slipped through. Fix them.

This patch adds support to handle failover device pairs of a virtio-net
device and a (vfio-)pci device, where the virtio-net acts as the standby
device and the (vfio-)pci device as the primary.
The general idea is that we have a pair of devices, a (vfio-)pci and a
emulated (virtio-net) device. Before migration the vfio device is
unplugged and data flows to the emulated device, on the target side
another (vfio-)pci device is plugged in to take over the data-path. In the
guest the net_failover module will pair net devices with the same MAC
address.
To achieve this we need:
1. Provide a callback function for the should_be_hidden DeviceListener.
It is called when the primary device is plugged in. Evaluate the QOpt
passed in to check if it is the matching primary device. It returns
if the device should be hidden or not.
When it should be hidden it stores the device options in the VirtioNet
struct and the device is added once the VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature is
negotiated during virtio feature negotiation.
If the virtio-net devices are not realized at the time the (vfio-)pci
devices are realized, we need to connect the devices later. This way
we make sure primary and standby devices can be specified in any
order.
2. Register a callback for migration status notifier. When called it
will unplug its primary device before the migration happens.
3. Register a callback for the migration code that checks if a device
needs to be unplugged from the guest.
