Symlinks from the qemu-system-XXX/docs pointing to qemu-system-common/docs?

Split out a qemu-docs package? It's a bit small, but putting all the docs in
the qemu metapackage is largely a relic from before qemu was split into
multiple packages... that would save the trouble of sorting out which docs go
where.


Seems like the options are largely:
  * don't change a thing (kinda confusing, but easy!)
  * make a new qemu-docs package (some work, but probably only once)
  * inventory and sort the docs and include in the appropriate package(s)
    (and keep track of upstream changes...)
