To make our efforts on QEMU testing easier to consume by contributors,
let's add a document. For example, Patchew reports build errors on
patches that should be relatively easy to reproduce with a few steps, and
it is much nicer if there is such a documentation that it can refer to.
This focuses on how to run existing tests and how to write new test
cases, without going into the frameworks themselves.
The VM based testing section is moved from tests/vm/README which now
is a single line pointing to the new doc.

Modify the pre_save method on VMStateDescription to return an int
rather than void so that it potentially can fail.
Changed zillions of devices to make them return 0; the only
case I've made it return non-0 is hw/intc/s390_flic_kvm.c that already
had an error_report/return case.
Note: If you add an error exit in your pre_save you must emit
an error_report to say why.

It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands
to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference
count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer:
thread 1 thread 2 RCU thread
-------------------------------------------------------------
rcu_read_lock
read as->current_map
set as->current_map
flatview_unref
'--> call_rcu
flatview_ref
[ref=1]
rcu_read_unlock
flatview_destroy
<badness>
Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the
situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to
Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if
it hasn't already hit zero. This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53
("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead
credentials", 2010-07-29).

Using two libraries (libqemuutil.a and libqemustub.a) would sometimes
result in circular dependencies. To avoid these issues let's just
combine both into a single library that functions as both.

Code that checks dstate is unaware of SystemTap and LTTng UST dstate, so
the following trace event will not fire when solely enabled by SystemTap
or LTTng UST:
if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_MY_EVENT)) {
str = g_strdup_printf("Expensive string to generate ...",
...);
trace_my_event(str);
g_free(str);
}
Add trace_event_get_state_backends() to fetch backend dstate. Those
backends that use QEMU dstate fetch it as part of
generate_h_backend_dstate().
Update existing trace_event_get_state() callers to use
trace_event_get_state_backends() instead.

This is part of the on-going effort to convert QEMU upstream
documentation syntax to reStructuredText (rST).
The conversion to rST was done using:
$ pandoc -f markdown -t rst bitmaps.md -o bitmaps.rst
Then, make a couple of small syntactical adjustments. While at it,
reword a statement to avoid ambiguity. Addressing the feedback from
this thread:

Developer documentation should be its own manual. As a start, move all
developer-oriented files to a separate directory.
Also move non-text files to their own directories: docs/config/ for
QEMU -readconfig input, and docs/spin/ for formal models to be used
with the SPIN model checker.
