[v2,2/2] docs/interop: Delete qmp-intro.txt

qmp-intro.txt is quite small and provides very little information
that isn't already in the documentation elsewhere.  Fold the example
command lines into qemu-options.hx, and delete the now-unneeded plain
text document.

While we're touching the qemu-options.hx documentation text,
wordsmith it a little bit and improve the rST formatting.

A friendly introduction can be worth some redundancy.  But I can't see
how to fit it into our greater doc framework, and standalone plaintext
documents likely isn't where someone in need of a friendly intro would
look for one.  Since I have nothing better to offer, no objection.

> -
> -$ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \

> -             -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control,pretty=on
> -
> -Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.

> -Simple Testing

We can't quite decide whether the M in QMP means "machine" or "monitor":

Not this patch's fault.
