The sphinx-build is fairly verbose spitting out pages of output to the
console, which causes errors from other build commands to be scrolled
off the top of the terminal. This can leave the mistaken impression that
the build passed, when in fact there was a failure.

With gdb 9.0 and better it is possible to connect to a gdbstub
over unix sockets, which is better than a TCP socket connection
in some situations. The QEMU command line to set this up is

There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z"
in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better
to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate
something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove
something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to
standardize on.
So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and
unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").
The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).
This commit fixes various places in the manual which were

Our built HTML documentation now has a standard footer which
gives the license for QEMU (and its documentation as a whole).
In almost all pages, we either don't bother to state the
copyright/license for the individual rST sources, or we put
it in an rST comment. There are just three pages which render
copyright or license information into the user-visible HTML.
Quoting a specific (different) license for an individual HTML
page within the manual is confusing. Downgrade the license
and copyright info to a comment within the rST source, bringing
these pages in line with the rest of our documents.

The point of 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps' is to be a convenience for
actions that are already possible through a string of smaller
'qemu-img bitmap' sub-commands. One situation not accounted for
already is that if a source image contains an inconsistent bitmap (for
example, because a qemu process died abruptly before flushing bitmap
state), the user MUST delete those inconsistent bitmaps before
anything else useful can be done with the image.
We don't want to delete inconsistent bitmaps by default: although a
corrupt bitmap is only a loss of optimization rather than a corruption
of user-visible data, it is still nice to require the user to opt in
to the fact that they are aware of the loss of the bitmap. Still,
requiring the user to check 'qemu-img info' to see whether bitmaps are
consistent, then use 'qemu-img bitmap --remove' to remove offenders,
all before using 'qemu-img convert', is a lot more work than just
adding a knob 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps --skip-broken-bitmaps' which
opts in to skipping the broken bitmaps.
After testing the new option, also demonstrate the way to manually fix
things (either deleting bad bitmaps, or re-creating them as empty) so
that it is possible to convert without the option.
