We do not need a dedicated section for notes. By eliminating a specially
parsed section, these notes can be treated as normal rST paragraphs in
the new QMP reference manual, and can be placed and styled much more
flexibly.
Convert all existing "Note" and "Notes" sections to pure rST. As part of
the conversion, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and add
trailing punctuation where appropriate to ensure notes look sensible and
consistent in rendered HTML documentation. Markup is also re-aligned to
the de-facto standard of 3 spaces for directives.
Update docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst to reflect the new paradigm, and
update the QAPI parser to prohibit "Note" sections while suggesting a
new syntax. The exact formatting to use is a matter of taste, but a good
candidate is simply:
.. note:: lorem ipsum ...
... dolor sit amet ...
... consectetur adipiscing elit ...
... but there are other choices, too. The Sphinx readthedocs theme
offers theming for the following forms (capitalization unimportant); all
are adorned with a (!) symbol () in the title bar for rendered HTML
docs.
See
https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/demo/demo.html#admonitions
for examples of each directive/admonition in use.
These are rendered in orange:
.. Attention:: ...
.. Caution:: ...
.. WARNING:: ...
These are rendered in red:
.. DANGER:: ...
.. Error:: ...
These are rendered in green:
.. Hint:: ...
.. Important:: ...
.. Tip:: ...
These are rendered in blue:
.. Note:: ...
.. admonition:: custom title
admonition body text
This patch uses ".. note::" almost everywhere, with just two "caution"
directives. Several instances of "Notes:" have been converted to
merely ".. note::", or multiple ".. note::" where appropriate.
".. admonition:: notes" is used in a few places where we had an
ordered list of multiple notes that would not make sense as
standalone/separate admonitions. Two "Note:" following "Example:"
have been turned into ordinary paragraphs within the example.
NOTE: Because qapidoc.py does not attempt to preserve source ordering of
sections, the conversion of Notes from a "tagged section" to an
"untagged section" means that rendering order for some notes *may
change* as a result of this patch. The forthcoming qapidoc.py rewrite
strictly preserves source ordering in the rendered documentation, so
this issue will be rectified in the new generator.

Simple unions predate flat unions. Having both complicates the QAPI
schema language and the QAPI generator. We haven't been using simple
unions in new code for a long time, because they are less flexible and
somewhat awkward on the wire.
To prepare for their removal, convert simple union SocketAddressLegacy
to an equivalent flat one, with existing enum SocketAddressType
replacing implicit enum type SocketAddressLegacyKind. Adds some
boilerplate to the schema, which is a bit ugly, but a lot easier to
maintain than the simple union feature.

The abstract socket namespace is a non-portable Linux extension. An
attempt to use it elsewhere should fail with ENOENT (the abstract
address looks like a "" pathname, which does not resolve). We report
this failure like
Failed to connect socket abc: No such file or directory
Tolerable, although ENOTSUP would be better.
However, introspection lies: it has @abstract regardless of host
support. Easy enough to fix: since Linux provides them since 2.2,
'if': 'defined(CONFIG_LINUX)' should do.
The above failure becomes
Parameter 'backend.data.addr.data.abstract' is unexpected
I consider this an improvement.

The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels,
but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about
indentation.
Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation
for multiline constructs like:
@arg: description line 1
description line 2
Returns: line one
line 2
so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and
subsequent lines align with the first.
This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the
generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away
all the extra whitespace). This does mean that we end up with some
over-length lines.
Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single
line like this:
@arg: one line only
then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so
I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference
is a single space here too.

[eblake: Fix error message typo]
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
The SocketAddress 'fd' kind accepts the name of a file descriptor passed
to the monitor with the 'getfd' command. This makes it impossible to use
the 'fd' kind in cases where a monitor is not available. This can apply in
handling command line argv at startup, or simply if internal code wants to
use SocketAddress and pass a numeric FD it has acquired from elsewhere.
Fortunately the 'getfd' command mandated that the FD names must not start
with a leading digit. We can thus safely extend semantics of the
SocketAddress 'fd' kind, to allow a purely numeric name to reference an
file descriptor that QEMU already has open. There will be restrictions on
when each kind can be used.
In codepaths where we are handling a monitor command (ie cur_mon != NULL),
we will only support use of named file descriptors as before. Use of FD
numbers is still not permitted for monitor commands.
In codepaths where we are not handling a monitor command (ie cur_mon ==
NULL), we will not support named file descriptors. Instead we can reference
FD numers explicitly. This allows the app spawning QEMU to intentionally
"leak" a pre-opened socket to QEMU and reference that in a SocketAddress
definition, or for code inside QEMU to pass pre-opened FDs around.
