We can't just embed labels directly into files like qemu-options.hx which
are included from multiple top-level RST files, because Sphinx sees the
labels as duplicate: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/9707

So add an 'emitrefs' option to the Sphinx hxtool-doc directive, which is
set only in invocation.rst and not from the HTML rendition of the man
page. Along with an argument to the SRST directive which causes a label
of the form '.. _LABEL-reference-label:' to be emitted when the emitrefs
option is set.

Now where the Xen PV documentation refers to the documentation for the
-initrd command line option, it can emit a link directly to it.

https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/i386/xen.html tells the user
to "see the command line documentation for the -initrd option". It'd be
a whole lot nicer if we could *link* to it. It actually worked on my
test box, but only because I'm using an older version of Sphinx which
didn't complain about the duplicate refs, and just picked *one* to link
to.
