We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment.
Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual.
Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied
on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no
longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py
still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus
qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json.
Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is
optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just
busy-work.
Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all
instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be
dropped again once the dust settles.
No change to generated documentation.

qapi2texi works with schema expression trees. Such a tight coupling
to schema language syntax is not a good idea. Convert it to the visitor
interface the other generators use.

qapi2texi.py already conjures up ArgSections for undocumented
enumeration values, in texi_enum. Drop that, and conjure them up for
all kinds of "arguments" (enumeration values, object and alternate
type members) in qapi.py instead.
Take care to keep generated documentation exactly the same for now.

We silently fix missing #optional tags for QAPIDoc by appending a line
"#optional" to the section's .content. However, this interferes with
.__repr__ stripping trailing blank lines from .content.
Use new ArgSection instance variable .optional instead, and leave
.content alone.
To permit testing .optional in texi_body(), clean up texi_enum()'s
hack to add empty documentation for undocumented enum values: add an
ArgSection instead of ''.

We use tag #optional to mark optional members, like this:
# @name: #optional The name of the guest
texi_body() strips #optional, but not whitespace around it. For the
above, we get in qemu-qmp-qapi.texi
@item @code{'name'} (optional)
The name of the guest
@end table
The extra space can lead to artifacts in output, e.g in
qemu-qmp-ref.7.pod
=item C<'name'> (optional)
The name of the guest
and then in qemu-qmp-ref.7
.IX Item "name (optional)"
.Vb 1
\& The name of the guest
.Ve
instead of intended plain
.IX Item "name (optional)"
The name of the guest
Get rid of these artifacts by removing whitespace around #optional
along with it.
This turns three minus signs in qapi-schema.json into markup, because
they're now at the beginning of the line. Drop them, they're unwanted
there.

Since we added the documentation generator in commit 3313b61, doc
comments are mandatory. That's a very good idea for a schema that
needs to be documented, but has proven to be annoying for testing.
Make doc comments optional again, but add a new directive
{ 'pragma': { 'doc-required': true } }
to let a QAPI schema require them.
Add test cases for the new pragma directive. While there, plug a
minor hole in includ directive test coverage.
Require documentation in the schemas we actually want documented:
qapi-schema.json and qga/qapi-schema.json.
We could probably make qapi2texi.py cope with incomplete
documentation, but for now, simply make it refuse to run unless the
schema has 'doc-required': true.

When we build qemu-qmp-ref.txt this causes texinfo to complain several
times:
"Negative repeat count does nothing at
/usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Convert/Line.pm line 124."
It also doesn't display correctly, because the "Notes" text disappears
entirely in the HTML version because it thinks there's no actual
quotation text.
The text file output formatting is also not good.
To solve those problems, remove usage of @quotation, and simply use bold
face for the section name.

As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).
It parses the following kind of blocks:
Free-form:
##
# = Section
# == Subsection
#
# Some text foo with *emphasis*
# 1. with a list
# 2. like that
#
# And some code:
# | $ echo foo
# | -> do this
# | <- get that
#
##
Symbol description:
##
# @symbol:
#
# Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
# baz ding.
#
# @param1: the frob to frobnicate
# @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
#
# Returns: the frobnicated frob.
# If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
#
# Since: version
# Notes: notes, comments can have
# - itemized list
# - like this
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "quit" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:
api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup
Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment. The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.
See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.
Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code
