docs/interop: Delete qmp-intro.txt

Browse Source 
qmp-intro.txt is quite small and provides very little information
that isn't already in the documentation elsewhere.  Fold the example
command lines into qemu-options.hx, and delete the now-unneeded plain
text document.

While we're touching the qemu-options.hx documentation text,
wordsmith it a little bit and improve the rST formatting.

``-mon [chardev=]name[,mode=readline|control][,pretty[=on|off]]``
Setup monitor on chardev name. ``mode=control`` configures
a QMP monitor (a JSON RPC-style protocol) and it is not the
same as HMP, the human monitor that has a "(qemu)" prompt.
``pretty`` is only valid when ``mode=control``,
Set up a monitor connected to the chardev ``name``.
QEMU supports two monitors: the Human Monitor Protocol
(HMP; for human interaction), and the QEMU Monitor Protocol
(QMP; a JSON RPC-style protocol).
The default is HMP; ``mode=control`` selects QMP instead.
``pretty`` is only valid when ``mode=control``,
turning on JSON pretty printing to ease
human reading and debugging.
For example::
-chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server=on,wait=off \
-mon chardev=mon1,mode=control,pretty=on
enables the QMP monitor on localhost port 4444 with pretty-printing.
