When documenting our public API in some places we use '@' to
refer to the variable. For instance:
* This API tries to set guest time to the given value. The time
* to set (@seconds and @nseconds) should be in seconds relative
* to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.
However, when generating HTML documentation these tokens are
copied verbatim. What we can do is drop the '@' character and
wrap the variable in <code/> so that it is formatted properly.
Due to the way we 'parse' docs a token might actually be slightly
more than just '@variable'. For instance in the example above we
will have the following tokens: '(@seconds' and '@nseconds)'.
Thus we need to handle possible substring before and after
variable.

In the example for <memory model='dimm'/> we show how to
configure hugepages as backend. In the example we show 4MiB
hugepages which are non-standard and thus at the first glance may
mislead users thinking that a regular sized pages (4K) will be
used. Use 2MiB as the value instead.

A number of legacy issues make the virtiofs kbase article hard to

other than memfd. Move that information to the bottom of the article so
the recommended syntax is most prominent.

We simply terminate qemu instead of issuing a reset as the semantics of
the setting dictate.
Fix it by handling it identically to 'fake reboot'.
We need to forbid the combination of 'onReboot' -> 'destroy' and
'onPoweroff' -> reboot though as the handling would be hairy and it
honetly makes no sense.

The qemu driver didn't ever implement any meaningful handling for the
'rename-restart' action.
At this point the following handling would take place:
'on_reboot' set to 'rename-restart' is ignored on guest-initiated
reboots, the guest simply reboots.
For on_poweroff set to 'rename-restart' the following happens:
guest initiated shutdown -> 'destroy'
libvirt initiated shutdown -> 'reboot'
In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'
being 'rename-restart' the guest is able to execute instructions after
issuing a reset before libvirt terminates it. This will be addressed
separately later.
Forbid the flag in the qemu def validator and update the documentation
to be factual.
