scripts/qapi/parser.py: improve doc comment indent handling Make the handling of indentation in doc comments more sophisticated, so that when we see a section like: Notes: some text some more text indented line 3 we save it for the doc-comment processing code as: some text some more text indented line 3 and when we see a section with the heading on its own line: Notes: some text some more text indented text we also accept that and save it in the same form. If we detect that the comment document text is not indented as much as we expect it to be, we throw a parse error. (We don't complain about over-indented sections, because for rST this can be legitimate markup.) The golden reference for the doc comment text is updated to remove the two 'wrong' indents; these now form a test case that we correctly stripped leading whitespace from an indented multi-line argument definition. We update the documentation in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt to describe the new indentation rules.

qapi: Relax doc string @name: description indentation rules The QAPI schema doc comment language provides special syntax for command and event arguments, struct and union members, alternate branches, enumeration values, and features: descriptions starting with "@name:". By convention, we format them like this: # @name: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, # sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore # magna aliqua. Okay for names as short as "name", but we have much longer ones. Their description gets squeezed against the right margin, like this: # @dirty-sync-missed-zero-copy: Number of times dirty RAM synchronization could # not avoid copying dirty pages. This is between # 0 and @dirty-sync-count * @multifd-channels. # (since 7.1) The description text is effectively just 50 characters wide. Easy enough to read, but can be cumbersome to write. The awkward squeeze against the right margin makes people go beyond it, which produces two undesirables: arguments about style, and descriptions that are unnecessarily hard to read, like this one: # @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is # only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability # is enabled. (Since 3.0) We could instead format it like # @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: # list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present # when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is # enabled. (Since 3.0) or, since the commit before previous, like # @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: # list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present # when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is # enabled. (Since 3.0) However, I'd rather have # @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. # This is only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration # capability is enabled. (Since 3.0) because this is how rST field and option lists work. To get this, we need to let the first non-blank line after the "@name:" line determine expected indentation. This fills up the indentation pitfall mentioned in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst. A related pitfall still exists. Update the text to show it.
