Adds the .. qapi:union:: directive, object, and :qapi:union:`name`
cross-referencing role.

In order to support discriminated branches of unions, a new qapi:branch
directive is created whose only purpose is to create a dynamically named
field list section based on the name of the branch key and value.

Because the label for these branch sections is dynamically generated,
this patch allows the use of either :memb: or :arg: in branches; they
are simply aliases and do not do anything different.

(This is to allow the directive to be used for either Commands or Unions
as needed; i.e. for commands whose argument type is a discriminated
union.)

For example:

.. qapi:union:: foo-union

   :memb foo-enum key: Discriminator field
   :memb foo-type fieldname: Some base type field that is always present

   .. qapi:branch:: key value1

      :memb type name: lorem ipsum ...

   .. qapi:branch:: key value2

      :memb type2 name2: dolor sit amet ...

In order to support this syntax, the root QAPIObject class needs to
perform some post-processing on field lists to merge adjecent field
lists. because each branch directive will return a separate field list,
and we want to combine them into one unified list for proper rendering.

NOTE: Technically, the branch directive will allow you to put arbitrary
ReST besides field lists inside of it, but it almost certainly won't do
anything you'd consider useful. I don't recommend it, but
programmatically forbidding it is expensive. Recommendation: "Don't!"

... and now ...

RFC: The branches abuse the field list system to create new categories
of field list entries that are dynamically generated. At the moment, I
do not have code to apply appropriate formatting to these headings, but
would like to apply ``literal`` syntax at a minimum to the enum values.

The other idea I have is to create a "blank" members value that doesn't
add a "title" (field label) on the left column and instead adds a
horizontal info bar into the arguments list in the right, but the
problem with this approach is that I won't be able to get rid of the "*
..." list bullet syntax, so it may look odd. Otherwise, a benefit to
this syntax is that it would allow us to write a longer explanation,
e.g. "When ``{key}`` is ``{value}``".

It's possible I could split the argument list into several nested lists,
but I haven't experimented in that direction yet - it's also likely that
Sphinx will want to append a ":" even to blank section titles, so this
may prove tricky to do within the constraints of Sphinx's existing Field
list system. (I believe the HTML formatter is responsible for appending
the colons.)

I'm open to suggestions, but wrestling with Sphinx, html and css is time
consuming (for me, at least), so ultimately, I'm afraid I must say:
***PATCHES WELCOME***.
