At this moment we only provide one event to report a hotunplug error,
MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR. As of Linux kernel 5.12 and QEMU 6.0.0, the pseries
machine is now able to report unplug errors for other device types, such
as CPUs.
Instead of creating a (device_type)_UNPLUG_ERROR for each new device,
create a generic DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR event that can be used by all
guest side unplug errors in the future. This event has a similar API as
the existing DEVICE_DELETED event, always providing the QOM path of the
device and dev->id if there's any.
With this new generic event, MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR is now marked as deprecated.

Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory.
Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.
=== for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the
Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents
included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied
to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is
useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

It's not that much complicated to type "-display sdl" or "-display curses",
so we should not clutter our main option name space with such simple
wrapper options and rather present the users with a concise interface
instead. Thus let's deprecate the "-sdl" and "-curses" wrapper options now.

The alt_grab and ctrl_grab parameter of the -display sdl option prevent
the QAPIfication of the "sdl" part of the -display option, so we should
eventually remove them. And since this feature is also rather niche anyway,
we should not clutter the top-level option list with these, so let's
also deprecate the "-alt-grab" and the "-ctrl-grab" options while we're
at it.
Once the deprecation period of "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" is over, we
then can finally switch the -display sdl option to use QAPI internally,
too.

There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z"
in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better
to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate
something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove
something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to
standardize on.
So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and
unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").
The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).
This commit fixes various places in the manual which were
using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text)
were intended, and covers those files where only one or two
instances of these errors were made.
