Thomas Huth 923e931188 docs: Get rid of the weird _005f links in the man page
The man page does not contain all the chapters from the System Emulation
Users Guide, so some of the links that we've put into the qemu options
descriptions can not be resolved and thus the link names are used in the
man pages instead. These link names currently contain weird "_005f" letters
in the middle and just do not make any sense for the users. To avoid this
situation, replace the link names with more descriptive, natural text.

QEMU Monitor
------------
The QEMU monitor is used to give complex commands to the QEMU emulator.
You can use it to:
- Remove or insert removable media images (such as CD-ROM or
floppies).
- Freeze/unfreeze the Virtual Machine (VM) and save or restore its
state from a disk file.
- Inspect the VM state without an external debugger.
Commands
~~~~~~~~
The following commands are available:
.. hxtool-doc:: hmp-commands.hx
.. hxtool-doc:: hmp-commands-info.hx
Integer expressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monitor understands integers expressions for every integer argument.
You can use register names to get the value of specifics CPU registers
by prefixing them with *$*.
