We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
But not always:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings
Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'
I'll take care of that later in this series.

This reverts commit 3313b61's changes to tests/qapi-schema/, except
for tests/qapi-schema/doc-*.
We could keep some of these doc comments to serve as positive test
cases. However, they don't actually add to what we get from doc
comment use in actual schemas, as we we don't test output matches
expectations, and don't systematically cover doc comment features.
Proper positive test coverage would be nice.

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

[test-qapi.py tweaked to avoid trailing empty lines in .out]

Rather than open-code the check for a valid base type, we
should reuse the common functionality. This allows for
consistent error messages, and also makes it easier for a
later patch to turn on support for inline anonymous base
structures.
Test flat-union-inline is updated to test only one feature
(anonymous branch dictionaries), which can be implemented
independently (test flat-union-bad-base already covers the
idea of an anonymous base dictionary).

It's first class, because unlike '**', it actually works, i.e. doesn't
require 'gen': false.
'**' will go away next.
