qemu-options.hx: Fix up the autogenerated rST
This commit contains hand-written fixes for some issues with the autogenerated rST fragments in qemu-options.hx: * Sphinx complains about the UTF-8 art table in the documentation of the -drive option. Replace it with a proper rST format table. * rST does not like definition list entries with no actual definition, but it is possible to work around this by putting a single escaped literal space as the definition line. * The "-g widthxheight" option documentation suffers particularly badly from losing the distinction between italics and fixed-width as a result of the auto conversion, so put it back in again. * The script missed some places that use the |qemu_system| etc macros and need to be marked up as parsed-literal blocks. * The script autogenerated an expanded out version of the contents of qemu-option-trace.texi; replace it with an qemu-option-trace.rst.inc include. This is sufficient that we can enable inclusion of the option documentation from invocation.rst.
