QAPISchema.lookup_entity() takes an optional type argument, a subtype
of QAPISchemaDefinition, and returns that type or None. Callers can
use this to save themselves an isinstance() test.
The only remaining user of this convenience feature is .lookup_type().
But we don't actually save anything anymore there: we still need the
isinstance() to help mypy over the hump.
Drop the .lookup_entity() argument, and adjust .lookup_type().

Dict[str, object] is a stricter type, but with the way that code is
currently arranged, it is infeasible to enforce this strictness.
In particular, although expr.py's entire raison d'être is normalization
and type-checking of QAPI Expressions, that type information is not
"remembered" in any meaningful way by mypy because each individual
expression is not downcast to a specific expression type that holds all
the details of each expression's unique form.
As a result, all of the code in schema.py that deals with actually
creating type-safe specialized structures has no guarantee (myopically)
that the data it is being passed is correct.
There are two ways to solve this:
(1) Re-assert that the incoming data is in the shape we expect it to be, or
(2) Disable type checking for this data.
(1) is appealing to my sense of strictness, but I gotta concede that it
is asinine to re-check the shape of a QAPIExpression in schema.py when
expr.py has just completed that work at length. The duplication of code
and the nightmare thought of needing to update both locations if and
when we change the shape of these structures makes me extremely
reluctant to go down this route.
(2) allows us the chance to miss updating types in the case that types
are updated in expr.py, but it *is* an awful lot simpler and,
importantly, gets us closer to type checking schema.py *at
all*. Something is better than nothing, I'd argue.
So, do the simpler dumber thing and worry about future strictness
improvements later.

QAPISchemaVariant's "variants" field is typed as
List[QAPISchemaVariant], where the typing for QAPISchemaVariant allows
its type field to be any QAPISchemaType.
However, QAPISchemaVariant expects that all of its variants contain the
narrower QAPISchemaObjectType. This relationship is enforced at runtime
in QAPISchemaVariants.check(). This relationship is not embedded in the
type system though, so QAPISchemaVariants.check_clash() needs to
re-assert this property in order to call
QAPISchemaVariant.type.check_clash().

There are two related changes here:
(1) We need to perform type narrowing for resolving the type of
tag_member during check(), and
(2) tag_member is a delayed initialization field, but we can hide it
behind a property that raises an Exception if it's called too
early. This simplifies the typing in quite a few places and avoids
needing to assert that the "tag_member is not None" at a dozen
callsites, which can be confusing and suggest the wrong thing to a
drive-by contributor.

Declare, but don't initialize the "members" field with type
List[QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember].
This simplifies the typing from what would otherwise be
Optional[List[T]] to merely List[T]. This removes the need to add
assertions to several callsites that this value is not None - which it
never will be after the delayed initialization in check() anyway.
The type declaration without initialization trick will cause accidental
uses of this field prior to full initialization to raise an
AttributeError.
(Note that it is valid to have an empty members list, see the internal
q_empty object as an example. For this reason, we cannot use the empty
list as a replacement test for full initialization and instead rely on
the _checked/_check_complete fields.)

This is intended to assist with subsequent patches that seek to remove

of that field; avoiding the need of assertions littered at many

resolve_type() is generally used to resolve configuration-provided type
names into type objects, and generally requires valid 'info' and 'what'
parameters.
In some cases, such as with QAPISchemaArrayType.check(), resolve_type
may be used to resolve built-in types and as such will not have an
'info' argument, but also must not fail in this scenario.
Use an assertion to sate mypy that we will indeed have 'info' and 'what'
parameters for the error pathway in resolve_type.
Note: there are only three callsites to resolve_type at present where
"info" is perceived by mypy to be possibly None:
1) QAPISchemaArrayType.check()
2) QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember.check()
3) QAPISchemaEvent.check()
Of those three, only the first actually ever passes None; the other two
are limited by their base class initializers which accept info=None, but
neither subclass actually use a None value in practice, currently.

A QAPISchemaArrayType's element type gets resolved only during .check().
We have QAPISchemaArrayType.__init__() initialize self.element_type =

However, it makes for awkward typing. With .element_type:

before .check(), and a QAPISchemaType after. To help it over the hump,
we'd have to assert self.element_type is not None before all the (valid)
uses. The assertion catches invalid uses, but only at run time; mypy

Instead, declare .element_type in .__init__() as QAPISchemaType

a hex value for the instance:
<qapi.schema.QAPISchemaEnumType object at 0x7f0ab4c2dad0>
<qapi.schema.QAPISchemaObjectType object at 0x7f0ab4c2dd90>
<qapi.schema.QAPISchemaArrayType object at 0x7f0ab4c2df90>
With this change we instead get the classname and the human friendly
name of the QAPI type instance:
<QAPISchemaEnumType:CpuS390State at 0x7f0ab4c2dad0>
<QAPISchemaObjectType:CpuInfoS390 at 0x7f0ab4c2dd90>
<QAPISchemaArrayType:CpuInfoFastList at 0x7f0ab4c2df90>

Debian 10 is not anymore a supported distro, since Debian 12 was
released on June 10, 2023. Our supported build platforms as of today
all support at least 3.8 (and all of them except for Ubuntu 20.04
support 3.9):
openSUSE Leap 15.5: 3.6.15 (3.11.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16, 3.11.4)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.17 (3.11.4)
Fedora 37: 3.11.4
Fedora 38: 3.11.4
Debian 11: 3.9.2
Debian 12: 3.11.2
Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16
Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.12
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.18
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.17
Note: NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but offers
several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. However, "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request
in tests/vm/netbsd.
Since it is safe under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.8. The two most interesting
features to have by default include:
- the importlib.metadata module, whose lack is responsible for over 100
lines of code in mkvenv.py
- improvements to asyncio, for example asyncio.CancelledError
inherits from BaseException rather than Exception
In addition, code can now use the assignment operator ':='
Because mypy now learns about importlib.metadata, a small change to
mkvenv.py is needed to pass type checking.
