Peter Maydell 26ec4e53f2 qapi: Fix indent level on doc comments in json files
The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels,
but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about
indentation.

Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation
for multiline constructs like:

@arg: description line 1
      description line 2

Returns: line one
         line 2

so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and
subsequent lines align with the first.

This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the
generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away
all the extra whitespace).  This does mean that we end up with some
over-length lines.

Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single
line like this:

@arg: one line only

then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so
I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference
is a single space here too.

##
# @DumpGuestMemoryFormat:
#
# An enumeration of guest-memory-dump's format.
#
# @elf: elf format
#
# @kdump-zlib: kdump-compressed format with zlib-compressed
#
# @kdump-lzo: kdump-compressed format with lzo-compressed
#
# @kdump-snappy: kdump-compressed format with snappy-compressed
#
# @win-dmp: Windows full crashdump format,

##
# @dump-guest-memory:
#
# Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that can take
# very long depending on the amount of guest memory.
#
# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
# using gdb to process the core file.
#
# IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several gigabytes
# of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
# malicious guest pretending to be large.
#
# Also, paging=true has the following limitations:
#
# 1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have corrupted
# memory, which cannot be trusted
# 2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled. For
# example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state
# goes in real-mode
# 3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64.
#
# @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
# protocols are:
#
# 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following
# string is the file's path.
# 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string
# is the fd's name.
#
# @detach: if true, QMP will return immediately rather than
# waiting for the dump to finish. The user can track progress
# using "query-dump". (since 2.6).
#
# @begin: if specified, the starting physical address.
#
# @length: if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't
# want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin
# and @length
#
# @format: if specified, the format of guest memory dump. But non-elf
# format is conflict with paging and filter, ie. @paging, @begin and
# @length is not allowed to be specified with non-elf @format at the
# same time (since 2.0)
#
# Note: All boolean arguments default to false
#
# Returns: nothing on success
#
# Since: 1.2
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "dump-guest-memory",
# "arguments": { "protocol": "fd:dump" } }
# <- { "return": {} }

# Emitted when background dump has completed

# @error: human-readable error string that provides
# hint on why dump failed. Only presents on failure. The
# user should not try to interpret the error string.
#
# Since: 2.6
