We use the nsis.py script to write out an installer script Section
for each emulator executable, so the exact set of Sections depends on
which executables were built.  However the part of qemu.nsi which
specifies mouse-over descriptions for each Section still has a
hard-coded and very outdated list (with just i386 and alpha).  This
causes two problems.  Firstly, if you build the installer for a
configuration where you didn't build the i386 binaries you get
warnings like this:
  warning 6000: unknown variable/constant "{Section_i386}" detected, ignoring (macro:_==:1)
  warning 6000: unknown variable/constant "{Section_i386w}" detected, ignoring (macro:_==:1)
(this happens in our gitlab CI jobs, for instance).
Secondly, most of the emulators in the generated installer don't have
any mouseover text.

Make nsis.py generate a second output file which has the necessary
MUI_DESCRIPTION_TEXT lines for each Section it creates, so we can
include that at the right point in qemu.nsi to set the mouse-over
text.

When we build our Windows installer, it emits the warning:

   warning 7998: ANSI targets are deprecated

Fix this by making our installer a Unicode installer instead.  These
won't work on Win95/98/ME, but we already do not support those.

See
https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter4.html#aunicodetarget


for the documentation of the Unicode directive.

The old qemu-doc.html is no longer built, so update the Windows
installer to install the new Sphinx manual sets.

We install all five of the manuals, even though some of them
(notably the user-mode manual) will not be very useful to Windows
users, because skipping some of them would mean broken links
in the top level 'index.html' page.

Various firmwares has been added in the pc-bios/ directory:

- CCW     (since commit 0c1fecdd)
- skiboot (since commit bcad45de)
- EDK2    (since commit f7fa38b7)

Since we install qemu-system able to run the architectures
targetted by these firmware, include them in the NSIS exe.

qemu.org enabled HTTPS in 2017 and it should be used instead of HTTP.
There are also URLs to json.org, openvpn.net, and other domains that
support HTTPS.

This patch updates the qemu.org domains everywhere and also third-party
domains that I have checked.

The owner of qemu.org has delegated authority to modify DNS records to
the QEMU Project.  This has allowed us to use the domain name without
worries about IP address changes or technical issues disrupting service.
The issues described in commit 85938981
("Use qemu-project.org domain name") have therefore been mitigated.

This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of
qemu-project.org in documentation, version.rc, and the Windows installer
script.

The git submodules and SeaBIOS still use qemu-project.org for the time
being.  This will be fixed in the QEMU 2.12 release cycle.

Merge what is left of qemu-tech into the main manual as an appendix.
Ultimately we should have a new internals manual built from docs/, and
then the "Translator Internals" parts of qemu-tech could move to docs/
as well.  The bits on limitation and features of CPU emulation should
remain in qemu-doc.

32 and 64 bit variants of QEMU already had different default installation
directories, but used a common registry key for saving the choosen
directory. This is confusing for users who want to install both variants,
so fix it by using different registry keys.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration.  This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes.  For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!

The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>.  You can confirm this by querying the whois
information.  Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.

Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.

Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.

Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes.  The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:

  $ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
  $ rm -rf .git/modules    # also clear cached .git/ directories
  $ git submodule update --init

The new rules in Makefile allow building installers for QEMU on Windows
using NSIS, a package which is also available for Linux distributions
(so cross builds are possible).

The rules for NSIS are in qemu.nsi which also uses two new images.
