The #include directives to pull in sub-modules use file names relative
to the main module. Works only when all modules are in the same
directory, or the main module's output directory is in the compiler's
include path. Use relative file names instead.
The dummy variable we generate to avoid empty .o files has an invalid
name for sub-modules in other directories. Fix that.
Both messed up in commit 252dc3105f "qapi: Generate separate .h, .c
for each module". Escaped testing because tests/qapi-schema-test.json
doesn't cover sub-modules in other directories, only
tests/qapi-schema/include-relpath.json does, and we generate and
compile C code only for the former, not the latter. Fold the latter
into the former. This would have caught the mistakes fixed in this
commit.

[Rationale added to commit message]
We neglect to call .visit_module() for the special module we use for
built-ins. Harmless, but clean it up anyway. The
tests/qapi-schema/*.out now show the built-in module as 'module None'.
Subclasses of QAPISchemaModularCVisitor need to ._add_module() this
special module to enable code generation for built-ins. When this
hasn't been done, QAPISchemaModularCVisitor.visit_module() does
nothing for the special module. That looks like built-ins could
accidentally be generated into the wrong module when a subclass
neglects to call ._add_module(). Can't happen, because built-ins are
all visited before any other module. But that's non-obvious. Switch
off code generation explicitly.
Rename QAPISchemaModularCVisitor._begin_module() to
._begin_user_module().
New QAPISchemaModularCVisitor._is_builtin_module(), for clarity.

Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.

Here "oob" stands for "Out-Of-Band". When "allow-oob" is set, it means
the command allows out-of-band execution.
The "oob" idea is proposed by Markus Armbruster in following thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-09/msg02057.html
This new "allow-oob" boolean will be exposed by "query-qmp-schema" as
well for command entries, so that QMP clients can know which commands
can be used in out-of-band calls. For example the command "migrate"
originally looks like:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "meta-type": "command",
"arg-type": "86"}
And it'll be changed into:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "allow-oob": false,
"meta-type": "command", "arg-type": "86"}
This patch only provides the QMP interface level changes. It does not
contain the real out-of-band execution implementation yet.

the front end needs to pass more information on inclusions to the back

and its QAPISchemaVisitor. A later commit will use this to to
generate modular code.
New entity QAPISchemaInclude represents inclusions. Call new visitor
method visit_include() for it, so visitors can see the sub-modules a
module includes.
Note that unlike other entities, QAPISchemaInclude has no name, and is
therefore not added to entity_dict.
New QAPISchemaEntity attribute @module names the entity's source file.

Alternates are sum types like unions, but use the JSON type on the
wire / QType in QObject instead of an explicit tag. That's why we
require alternate members to have distinct QTypes.
The recently introduced keyval_parse() (commit d454dbe) can only
produce string scalars. The qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() input
visitor mostly hides the difference, so code using a QObject input
visitor doesn't have to care whether its input was parsed from JSON or
KEY=VALUE,... The difference leaks for alternates, as noted in commit
0ee9ae7: a non-string, non-enum scalar alternate value can't currently
be expressed.
In part, this is just our insufficiently sophisticated implementation.
Consider alternate type 'GuestFileWhence'. It has an integer member
and a 'QGASeek' member. The latter is an enumeration with values
'set', 'cur', 'end'. The meaning of b=set, b=cur, b=end, b=0, b=1 and
so forth is perfectly obvious. However, our current implementation
falls apart at run time for b=0, b=1, and so forth. Fixable, but not
today; add a test case and a TODO comment.
Now consider an alternate type with a string and an integer member.
What's the meaning of a=42? Is it the string "42" or the integer 42?
Whichever meaning you pick makes the other inexpressible. This isn't
just an implementation problem, it's fundamental. Our current
implementation will pick string.
So far, we haven't needed such alternates. To make sure we stop and
think before we add one that cannot sanely work with keyval_parse(),
let's require alternate members to have sufficiently distinct
representation in KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
* A string member clashes with any other scalar member
* An enumeration member clashes with bool members when it has value
'on' or 'off'.
* An enumeration member clashes with numeric members when it has a
value that starts with '-', '+', or a decimal digit. This is a
rather lazy approximation of the actual number syntax accepted by
the visitor.
Note that enumeration values starting with '-' and '+' are rejected
elsewhere already, but better safe than sorry.

The next commit is going to make alternate members of type 'str'
conflict with other scalar types. Would break a few test cases that
don't actually require 'str'. Flip them from 'str' to 'bool' or
'EnumOne'.
