migration: massage cpr-reboot documentation
Re-wrap the cpr-reboot documentation to 70 columns, use '@' for cpr-reboot references, capitalize COLO and VFIO, and tweak the wording.

# @normal: the original form of migration. (since 8.2)
#
-# @cpr-reboot: The migrate command stops the VM and saves state to the URI.
-# After quitting qemu, the user resumes by running qemu -incoming.
-#
-# This mode allows the user to quit qemu, and restart an updated version
-# of qemu. The user may even update and reboot the OS before restarting,
-# as long as the URI persists across a reboot.
-#
-# Unlike normal mode, the use of certain local storage options does not
-# block the migration, but the user must not modify guest block devices
-# between the quit and restart.
-#
-# This mode supports vfio devices provided the user first puts the guest
-# in the suspended runstate, such as by issuing guest-suspend-ram to the
-# qemu guest agent.
-#
-# Best performance is achieved when the memory backend is shared and the
-# @x-ignore-shared migration capability is set, but this is not required.
-# Further, if the user reboots before restarting such a configuration, the
-# shared backend must be be non-volatile across reboot, such as by backing
-# it with a dax device.
-#
-# cpr-reboot may not be used with postcopy, colo, or background-snapshot.
