Simple unions predate flat unions. Having both complicates the QAPI
schema language and the QAPI generator. We haven't been using simple
unions in new code for a long time, because they are less flexible and
somewhat awkward on the wire.
The previous commits eliminated simple union from the tree. Now drop
them from the QAPI schema language entirely, and update mentions of
"flat union" to just "union".

Mostly, add ``literal`` markers to a lot of things like C types, add
code blocks, and fix the way a few things render.

This is a very rudimentary conversion from .txt to .rst changing as
little as possible, but getting it to render somewhat nicely; without
using any Sphinx directives. (It is 'native' ReST.)
Further patches will add cross-references and Sphinx-specific extensions
to make it sparkle.
