Amend the qapidoc generator to handle and render INTRO sections.

The only real difference here from other sections is that we need to
dedent the text so it renders correctly. Members and Features are also
indented, but do not require a dedent() because they are always used
in tandem with an rST construct that forms the start of a new indented
block; there is coincidental harmony.

Plaintext sections, however, do not start their own block and thus
need to be dedented to prevent accidentally rendering them as a
blockquote or a syntax error.

This dedent transformation on the text does not reflow the text, so
source line information remains accurate, and the "blame" chain of
custody for sphinx rST parsing error messages continues to be correct
even through this transformation.
