docs: reSTify virtio-balloon-stats documentation and move to docs/interop

The virtio-balloon-stats documentation might be useful for people that
are implementing software that talks to QEMU via QMP, so this should
reside in the docs/interop/ directory. While we're at it, also convert
the file to restructured text and mention it in the MAINTAINERS file.
