[PATCH v2 09/23] qapi/source: allow multi-line QAPISourceInfo advancing

[John Snow]

This is for the sake of the new rST generator (the "transmogrifier") so
we can advance multiple lines on occasion while keeping the
generated<-->source mappings accurate.

next_line now simply takes an optional n parameter which chooses the
number of lines to advance.

RFC: Here's the exorbitant detail on why I want this:

This is used mainly when converting section syntax in free-form
documentation to more traditional rST section header syntax, which
does not always line up 1:1 for line counts.

For example:

```
 ##
 # = Section     <-- Info is pointing here, "L1"
 #
 # Lorem Ipsum
 ##
```

would be transformed to rST as:

```
=======        <-- L1
Section        <-- L1
=======        <-- L1
               <-- L2
Lorem Ipsum    <-- L3
```

After consuming the single "Section" line from the source, we want to
advance the source pointer to the next non-empty line which requires
jumping by more than one line.
