Character backends are actually QOM types. When a backend's
compile-time conditional QOM type is not compiled in, creation fails
with "'FOO' is not a valid char driver name". Okay, except
introspecting chardev-add with query-qmp-schema doesn't work then: the
backend type is there even though the QOM type isn't.
A management application can work around this issue by using
qom-list-types instead.
Fix the issue anyway: add the conditionals to the QAPI schema.

In commit 6f974c843c ("gtk: overwrite the console.c char driver"), I
shared the VC console parse handler with GTK. And later on in commit
d8aec9d9 ("display: add -display spice-app launching a Spice client"),
I also used it to handle spice-app VC.
This is not necessary, the VC console options (width/height/cols/rows)
are specific, and unused by tty-level GTK/Spice VC.
This is not a breaking change, as those options are still being parsed
by QAPI ChardevVC. Adjust the documentation about it.

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 ChardevBackend to
an equivalent flat one. Adds some boilerplate to the schema, which is
a bit ugly, but a lot easier to maintain than the simple union
feature.

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.

Currently any client which can complete the TLS handshake is able to use
a chardev server. The server admin can turn on the 'verify-peer' option
for the x509 creds to require the client to provide a x509
certificate. This means the client will have to acquire a certificate
from the CA before they are permitted to use the chardev server. This is
still a fairly low bar.
This adds a 'tls-authz=OBJECT-ID' option to the socket chardev backend
which takes the ID of a previously added 'QAuthZ' object instance. This
will be used to validate the client's x509 distinguished name. Clients
failing the check will not be permitted to use the chardev server.
For example to setup authorization that only allows connection from a
client whose x509 certificate distinguished name contains 'CN=fred', you
would use:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\
endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
-object authz-simple,id=authz0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\
