This commit makes the equivalent changes to the Python script that we
had for the old Perl script in commit 4cf4179441 ("docs: tweak
kernel-doc for QEMU coding standards"). To repeat the rationale from
that commit:
Surprisingly, QEMU does have a pretty consistent doc comment style and
it is not very different from the Linux kernel's. Of the documentation
"sigils", only "#" separates the QEMU doc comment style from Linux's,
and it has 200+ instances vs. 6 for the kernel's '&struct foo' (all in
accel/tcg/translate-all.c), so it's clear that the two standards are
different in this respect. In addition, our structs are typedefed and
recognized by CamelCase names.
Note that in 4cf4179441 we used '(?!)' as our type_fallback regex;
this is strictly not quite a replacement for the upstream
'\&([_\w]+)', because the latter includes a group that can later be
matched with \1, and the former does not. The old perl script did
not care about this, but the python version does, so we must include
the extra set of brackets to ensure we have a group.
This commit does not include all the same changes that 4cf4179441
did. Of the missing pieces, some had already gone in an earlier
kernel-doc update; the parts we still had but do not include here are:

The second of these is already in the upstream version: the line r =
KernRe("[-:](.*)") in process_name() matches the regex we have. The
first change has been refactored into the doc_begin_data and
doc_begin_func changes. Since the output HTML for QEMU's
documentation has no relevant changes with the new kerneldoc, we
assume that this too has been handled upstream.
