We got pretty much all the manual changes I needed into
master already, so all that's left really is the script parts.
The conflicts would basically be where this series affects
the generate-docs parts of the scripts -- any changes here
to doc.py are basically dead-code-walking and would need
to be done over again in the equivalent code for rust generation.
But looking at the diffstat
 scripts/qapi/doc.py                           |  16 +-
so hopefully it won't be too bad.
