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.
hmp-commands.hx: Add rST documentation fragments Add the rST versions of the documentation fragments. Once we've converted fully from Texinfo to rST we can remove the ETEXI fragments; for the moment we need both. Since the only consumer of the hmp-commands hxtool documentation is the HTML manual, all we need to do for the monitor command documentation to appear in the Sphinx system manual is add the one line that invokes the hxtool extension on the .hx file.

Commands
~~~~~~~~
The following commands are available:
.. hxtool-doc:: hmp-commands.hx
hmp-commands-info.hx: Add rST documentation fragments Add the rST versions of the documentation fragments. Once we've converted fully from Texinfo to rST we can remove the ETEXI fragments; for the moment we need both. Note that most of the SRST fragments are 2-space indented so that the 'info foo' documentation entries appear as a sublist under the 'info' entry in the top level list. Again, all we need to do to put the documentation in the Sphinx manual is a one-line hxtool-doc invocation.

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 *$*.
