Move documentation for fw_cfg functions internal to qemu from
docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt to the fw_cfg.h header file, next to their
prototype declarations, formatted as doc-comments.

(1) Please mention in the commit message that this paragraph disappears
without replacement, because the fw_cfg_add_callback() function is
already gone.

(2) -- (This is the "half" comment.) We could make the DMA language a
bit more precise, because the callback is not invoked if the start
offset of the DMA transfer falls outside the fw_cfg blob in question.
However, I don't think it is necessary to update this paragraph, because
in the next patch precisely the callback-on-DMA behavior is changed.

I'll do this, if only so that the historical record wouldn't be
unnecessarily hard to decipher on anyone who might (unlikely) end
up doing archaeology on this :)

How about this:

 Additionally, set a callback function (and argument) to be called each
 time a byte is read by the guest from this particular item, or, in the
 case of DMA, each time a read or skip request overlaps with a defined
 portion of the item.

ack on (and thanks for) the rest of the review!
