commit 71b424ca7644e2546da3f07fce3c33980d85602e

plugins: add missing docstrings to qemu-plugin.h
This patch adds docstrings for typedefs and function declarations in
include/plugins/qemu-plugin.h that were previously missing. This
resolves inconsistencies in the docs, e.g., the description for
qemu_plugin_read_register() referring to qemu_plugin_register_flush_cb()
but code cache flush callbacks not being documented themselves.
