John Snow f414048e32 python: synchronize qemu.qmp documentation
This patch collects comments and documentation changes from many commits
in the python-qemu-qmp repository; bringing the qemu.git copy in
bit-identical alignment with the standalone library *except* for several
copyright messages that reference the "LICENSE" file which is, for QEMU,
named "COPYING" instead and are therefore left unchanged.

Miscellaneous Utilities
This module provides asyncio and various logging and debugging
utilities, such as `exception_summary()` and `pretty_traceback()`, used
primarily for adding information into the logging stream.

Return this thread's current event loop, or create a new one.
This function behaves similarly to asyncio.get_event_loop() in

generally not be used in any asyncio-native applications.

drain. The flow control limits are restored after the call is
completed.

Formats the current traceback, indented to provide visual distinction.

debugging purposes when encapsulating errors to deliver them up the

visual grouping to quickly identify the parts of the error that
belong to the inner exception.
