Whenever qapi-schema.json changes, we run six programs eleven times to
update eleven files. Similar for qga/qapi-schema.json. This is
silly. Replace the six programs by a single program that spits out
all eleven files.
The programs become modules in new Python package qapi, along with the
helper library. This requires moving them to scripts/qapi/. While
moving them, consistently drop executable mode bits.

The next commit will introduce a common driver program for all
generators. The generators need to be modules for that. qapi2texi.py
already is. Make the other generators follow suit.
The changes are actually trivial. Obvious in the diffs once you view
them with whitespace changes ignored.

These classes encapsulate accumulating and writing output.
Convert C code generation to QAPIGenC and QAPIGenH. The conversion is
rather shallow: most of the output accumulation is not converted.
Left for later.
The indentation machinery uses a single global variable indent_level,
even though we generally interleave creation of a .c and its .h. It
should become instance variable of QAPIGenC. Also left for later.
Documentation generation isn't converted, and QAPIGenDoc isn't used.
This will change shortly.

Each generator carries a copyright notice for the generator itself,
and another one for the files it generates. Only the former have been
updated along the way, the latter have not, and are all out of date.
Fix by copying the generator's copyright notice to the generated files
instead. Note that the fix doesn't copy the "Authors:" part; the
generated files' outdated Authors list goes away without replacement.

Every generator has separate boilerplate for .h and .c, and their
differences are boring. All of them repeat the license note.
Reduce the repetition as follows. Move common text like the license
note to common open_output(), next to the existing common text there.
For each generator, replace the two separate descriptions by a single
one.
While there, emit an "automatically generated" note into generated
documentation, too.

PEP 8 advises:
In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the
same. This PEP does not make a recommendation for this. Pick a
rule and stick to it. When a string contains single or double
quote characters, however, use the other one to avoid backslashes
in the string. It improves readability.
The QAPI generators succeed at picking a rule, but fail at sticking to
it. Convert a bunch of double-quoted strings to single-quoted ones.

The next patch will add support for passing a qapi union type
as the 'data' of a command. But to do that, the user function
for implementing the command, as called by the generated
marshal command, must take the corresponding C struct as a
single boxed pointer, rather than a breakdown into one
parameter per member. Even without a union, being able to use
a C struct rather than a list of parameters can make it much
easier to handle coding with QAPI.
This patch adds the internal plumbing of a 'boxed' flag
associated with each command and event. In several cases,
this means adding indentation, with one new dead branch and
the remaining branch being the original code more deeply
nested; this was done so that the new implementation in the
next patch is easier to review without also being mixed with
indentation changes.
For this patch, no behavior or generated output changes, other
than the testsuite outputting the value of the new flag
(always False for now).

As a followup to commit cbf2115, clean up the includes in files
generated by QAPI so that osdep.h is included first in .c files,
and headers which it implies are not included manually. This
patch is done manually, since Coccinelle (and therefore
scripts/clean-includes) doesn't see into the generator scripts.

For the sake of humans reading introspection output, it is nice
to have the name of implicit array types be recognizable as
arrays of the underlying type. However, while this patch allows
humans to skip from a command with return type "[123]" straight
to the definition of type "123" without having to first inspect
type "[123]", document that this shortcut should not be taken by
client apps.
This makes the resulting introspection string slightly larger by
default (just over 200 bytes), but it's in the noise (less than
0.3% of the overall 70k size of 'query-qmp-capabilities').

Previously, qapi-types and qapi-visit filtered out implicit
objects during visit_object_type() by using 'info' (works since
implicit objects do not [yet] have associated info); meanwhile
qapi-introspect filtered out all schema types on the first pass
by returning a python type from visit_begin(), which was then
used at a distance in QAPISchema.visit() to do the filtering.
Rather than keeping these ad hoc approaches, add a new visitor
callback visit_needed() which returns False to skip a given
entity, and which defaults to True unless overridden. Use the
new mechanism to simplify all three filtering visitors.
No change to the generated code.

qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema. It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.
The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata. A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.
Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:
* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.
All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
internally is an implementation detail. It could be pressed into
external interface service as very approximate range information,
but that's a bad idea. If we need range information, we better do
it properly.
* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
auto-generated names:
- Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
element type, like in generated C.
- The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
like in generated C.
- Types that don't occur in generated C. Their names start with ':'
so they don't clash with the user's names.
* All type references are by name.
* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.
* Base types are flattened.
* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.
Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.
The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
produces no results.
The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
doesn't reflect that.
The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.
The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
QMP.
* Events carry a single data value.
Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
commands.
The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
reflect that.
* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.
Indirect use counts as use.
* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now
Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
default value. Non-null is available for optional with default
(possible future extension).
* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
not ABI. Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
follow the references.
TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?
New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.
It can generate awfully long lines. Marked TODO.
A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.
New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable. Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.
If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:
* We can use shorter names in the JSON. Not the QMP style.
* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
arguments.
Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
qmp-introspect.py. To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C. Unattractive.
* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.
It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely. Provide a command
query-qmp-schema-hash. Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached. Even
simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.
