Peter Maydell bb43ee6c4f docs: Move qemu-option-trace.rst.inc to docs/
The qemu-option-trace.rst.inc file contains a rST documentation
fragment which describes trace options common to qemu-nbd and
qemu-img.  We put this file into interop/, but we'd like to move the
qemu-nbd and qemu-img files into the tools/ manual.  We could move
the .rst.inc file along with them, but we're eventually going to want
to use it for the main QEMU binary options documentation too, and
that will be in system/.  So move qemu-option-trace.rst.inc to the
top-level docs/ directory, where all these files can include it via

   .. include:: ../qemu-option-trace.rst.inc

This does have the slight downside that we now need to explicitly
tell Make which manuals use this file rather than relying on
a wildcard for all .rst.inc in the manual.

David Edmondson 168468fe19 qemu-img: Add --target-is-zero to convert
In many cases the target of a convert operation is a newly provisioned
target that the user knows is blank (reads as zero). In this situation
there is no requirement for qemu-img to wastefully zero out the entire
device.

Add a new option, --target-is-zero, allowing the user to indicate that
an existing target device will return zeros for all reads.

Julia Suvorova 890fb1f6b3 qemu-img: Place the '-i aio' option in alphabetical order
The '-i AIO' option was accidentally placed after '-n' and '-t'. Move it
after '--flush-interval'.

Peter Maydell e13c59fa44 qemu-img: Convert invocation documentation to rST
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.
