All of the QAPI include statements are changed to be package-aware, as
explicit relative imports.
A quirk of Python packages is that the name of the package exists only
*outside* of the package. This means that to a module inside of the qapi
folder, there is inherently no such thing as the "qapi" package. The
reason these imports work is because the "qapi" package exists in the
context of the caller -- the execution shim, where sys.path includes a
directory that has a 'qapi' folder in it.
When we write "from qapi import sibling", we are NOT referencing the folder
'qapi', but rather "any package named qapi in sys.path". If you should
so happen to have a 'qapi' package in your path, it will use *that*
package.
When we write "from .sibling import foo", we always reference explicitly
our sibling module; guaranteeing consistency in *where* we are importing
these modules from.
This can be useful when working with virtual environments and packages
in development mode. In development mode, a package is installed as a
series of symlinks that forwards to your same source files. The problem
arises because code quality checkers will follow "import qapi.x" to the
"installed" version instead of the sibling file and -- even though they
are the same file -- they have different module paths, and this causes
cyclic import problems, false positive type mismatch errors, and more.
It can also be useful when dealing with hierarchical packages, e.g. if
we allow qemu.core.qmp, qemu.qapi.parser, etc.

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.

[Whitespace between sentences tweaked]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
As we accumulate lines from doc comments when parsing the JSON, the
QAPIDoc class generally strips leading and trailing whitespace using
line.strip() when it calls _append_freeform(). This is fine for
Texinfo, but for rST leading whitespace is significant. We'd like to
move to having the text in doc comments be rST format rather than a
custom syntax, so move the removal of leading whitespace from the
QAPIDoc class to the texinfo-specific processing code in
texi_format() in qapi/doc.py.
(Trailing whitespace will always be stripped by the rstrip() in
Section::append regardless.)
In a followup commit we will make the whitespace in the lines of doc
comment sections more consistently follow the input source.
There is no change to the generated .texi files before and after this
commit.
Because the qapi-schema test checks the exact values of the
documentation comments against a reference, we need to update that
reference to match the new whitespace. In the first four places this
is now correctly checking that we did put in the amount of whitespace
to pass a rST-formatted list to the backend; in the last two places
the extra whitespace is 'wrong' and will go away again in the
following commit.

Our current QAPI doc-comment markup allows section headers (introduced
with a leading '=' or '==') anywhere in a free-form documentation
comment. This works for Texinfo because the generator simply prints a
Texinfo section command at that point in the output stream. For rST
generation, since we're assembling a tree of docutils nodes, this is
awkward because a new section implies starting a new section node at
the top level of the tree and generating text into there.
Make section headers start a new free-form documentation block, so the
future rST document generator doesn't have to look at every line in
free-form blocks and handle headings in odd places.
This change makes no difference to the generated Texinfo.

The QAPI code generator clocks in at some 3100 SLOC in 8 source files.
Almost 60% of the code is in qapi/common.py. Split it into more
focused modules:
* Move QAPISchemaPragma and QAPISourceInfo to qapi/source.py.
* Move QAPIError and its sub-classes to qapi/error.py.
* Move QAPISchemaParser and QAPIDoc to parser.py. Use the opportunity
to put QAPISchemaParser first.
* Move check_expr() & friends to qapi/expr.py. Use the opportunity to
put the code into a more sensible order.
* Move QAPISchema & friends to qapi/schema.py
* Move QAPIGen and its sub-classes, ifcontext,
QAPISchemaModularCVisitor, and QAPISchemaModularCVisitor to qapi/gen.py
* Delete camel_case(), it's unused since commit e98859a9b9 "qapi:
Clean up after recent conversions to QAPISchemaVisitor"
A number of helper functions remain in qapi/common.py. I considered
moving the code generator helpers to qapi/gen.py, but decided not to.
Perhaps we should rewrite them as methods of QAPIGen some day.
