[v2,16/21] docs/qapidoc: add QMP highlighting to annotated qmp-example blocks

Commit Message

John Snow June 26, 2024, 10:21 p.m. UTC

For any code literal blocks inside of a qmp-example directive, apply and
enforce the QMP lexer/highlighter to those blocks.

This way, you won't need to write:

```
.. qmp-example::
   :annotated:

   Blah blah

   .. code-block:: QMP

      -> { "lorem": "ipsum" }
```

But instead, simply:

```
.. qmp-example::
   :annotated:

   Blah blah::

     -> { "lorem": "ipsum" }
```

Once the directive block is exited, whatever the previous default
highlight language was will be restored; localizing the forced QMP
lexing to exclusively this directive.
