docbookrx swallows itemizedlist within variablelist

[pmkovar]

docbookrx swallows an itemizedlist nested within a variablelist, the contents of the itemizedlist are silently dropped.

An example markup:

 <variablelist>
    <varlistentry>
      <term>ADDRESS</term>
      <listitem>
        <para>
          This can either be:
        </para>
        <itemizedlist>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              An
            </para>
            <screen>
host
            </screen>
          </listitem>
        </itemizedlist>
        <note>
          <para>
            <literal>ADDRESS</literal> is not required
          </para>
        </note>
      </listitem>
    </varlistentry>
  </variablelist>

Turns out it swallows other elements as well, for example a note:

 <variablelist>
    <varlistentry>
      <term>Table 2</term>
      <listitem>
        <para>
          This can either be:
        </para>
        <note>
          <para>
            <literal>ADDRESS</literal> is not required
          </para>
        </note>
      </listitem>
    </varlistentry>
  </variablelist>

Indeed, this is mentioned in the WORKLOG as a missing conversion. See https://github.com/opendevise/docbookrx/blob/master/WORKLOG.adoc
