b414c4a00a qemu: THREADS.txt: rSTize and move to knowledge-base
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.

a89b17c2a7 docs: kbase: internals: Make 'overview' page useful and link to it
While the content is slightly outdated it's still a good primer on how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

The virtiofs project started off using "virtio-fs" but later switched to
the "virtiofs" spelling because it matches the spelling of the mount -t
virtiofs command-line. Update the kbase article with the new spelling so
it matches the virtiofs website.

e4f3f9d063 docs: kbase: Add a doc on live full disk backup
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

e59bb226b7 docs: link to PCI docs from the kbase page
While the PCI docs are linked from formatdomain.html, finding those
links is not straightforward. It is good for users to highlight them in
the kbase pages.  The PCI docs are intentionally not moved to the kbase/
sub-directory in order to avoid breaking hyperlinks.
