tools: build qemu-vmsr-helper

Introduce a privileged helper to access RAPL MSR.

The privileged helper tool, qemu-vmsr-helper, is designed to provide
virtual machines with the ability to read specific RAPL (Running Average
Power Limit) MSRs without requiring CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges or relying
on external, out-of-tree patches.

The helper tool leverages Unix permissions and SO_PEERCRED socket
options to enforce access control, ensuring that only processes
explicitly requesting read access via readmsr() from a valid Thread ID
can access these MSRs.

The list of RAPL MSRs that are allowed to be read by the helper tool is
defined in rapl-msr-index.h. This list corresponds to the RAPL MSRs that
will be supported in the next commit titled "Add support for RAPL MSRs
in KVM/QEMU."

The tool is intentionally designed to run on the Linux x86 platform.
This initial implementation is tailored for Intel CPUs but can be
extended to support AMD CPUs in the future.

docs: standardize directory index to --- with overline

Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory.
Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.
=== for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the
Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents
included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied
to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is
useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

We merged our previous multiple-manual setup into a single Sphinx

still calls the top level subsections separate 'manuals'. Update

now-obsolete comments about how the index.rst files are the "top

Some of the documentation for QEMU "tools" which are standalone
binaries like qemu-img is an awkward fit in our current 5-manual
split. We've put it into "interop", but they're not really

Create a new top level manual "tools" which will be a better

initial manual; we will move the relevant documentation
files in a subsequent commit.
