Move the internal documentation about qemu threading to the knowledge
base.
The conversion included rstizing of the text document, mainly just
fixing of the headline and enclosing function names and code examples
into code block sections.

Original conversion didn't properly convert local links. Fix them by
pointing to the section name. In certain cases this requires

While the content is slightly outdated it's still a good primer on how
an API call traverses through the client library and to the remote
driver.
To make the page useful, this commit:
- removes the paragraphs which were intended to serve as a directory
page for the 'internals' subdirectory
- adds a note saying that some facts might not be up to date
- adds linking to this page from the kbase directory page
- adds more monospace formatting around function names

Note that this document was not referenced from any top level page. This
patch does a straight conversion and leaves it unreferenced.
Next patch will then modify it to serve as an overview (hence the new
name) of how an API call happens.

Historically we had two top level XSL files for top level and nested
documents which only differ in what they pass for 'href_base' to the
main 'page.xsl' file.
We can instead pass the variable as argument from the build system so
that we have just one XSL file and also allow for more nested document
trees in the future.
The '404' page is special even with the current XSL way so we add a
special case for it.

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.

But the target is required, because it's passed to the

This is a rewrite of:
https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit
Once this commit merges, the above wiki should point to this kbase
document.
NB: I've intentionally left out the example for pull-based full backups.
I'll tackle it once QMP `x-blockdev-reopen` comes out of experimental
mode in upstream QEMU. Then pull-based can be described for both full
and and differntial backups.
Overall, future documents should cover:
- full backups using both push- and pull-mode
- differential backups using both push- and pull-mode
