docs/qapidoc: add transmogrifier class stub

Add the beginnings of the Transmogrifier class by adding the rST
conversion helpers that will be used to build the virtual rST document.

This version of the class does not actually "do anything" yet; each
individual feature is added one-at-a-time in the forthcoming commits.
