qapi: add qapi2texi script
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

qapi: Reserve 'q_*' and 'has_*' member names
c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a
dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but
in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already
beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'. Likewise, we create a C name 'has_'
for any optional member that can clash with any member name
beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'.
Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace,
we could try to complain about user names only when an actual
collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names
to avoid collisions. But it is not trivial, especially when
collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via
inheritance or flat unions). Besides, no existing .json
files are trying to use these names. So it's easier to just
outright forbid the potential for collision. We can always
relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to
express member names that have been forbidden here.
'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names,
while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that
only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging
both members and entities). Note that we could relax 'q_'
restrictions on entities independently from member names; for
example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different
function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix').
Update and add tests to cover the new error messages.

tests/qapi-schema: Test for reserved names, empty struct
Add some testsuite coverage to ensure future patches are on the right track: Our current C representation of qapi arrays is done by appending 'List' to the element name; but we are not preventing the creation of an object type with the same name. Add reserved-type-list.json to test this. Then rename enum-union-clash.json to reserved-type-kind.json to cover the reservation that we DO detect, and shorten it to match the fact that the name is reserved even if there is no clash. We are failing to detect a collision between a dictionary member and the implicit 'has_*' flag for another optional member. The easiest fix would be for a future patch to reserve the entire "has[-_]" namespace for member names (the collision is also possible for branch names within flat unions, but only as long as branch names can collide with (non-variant) members; however, since future patches are about to remove that, it is not worth testing here). Add reserved-member-has.json to test this. A similar collision exists between a dictionary member where c_name() munges what might otherwise be a reserved name to start with 'q_', and another member explicitly starts with "q[-_]". Again, the easiest solution for a future patch will be reserving the entire namespace, but here for commands as well as members. Add reserved-member-q.json and reserved-command-q.json to test this; separate tests since arguably our munging of command 'unix' to 'qmp_q_unix()' could be done without a q_, which is different than the munging of a member 'unix' to 'foo.q_unix'. Finally, our testsuite does not have any compilation coverage of struct inheritance with empty qapi structs. Update qapi-schema-test.json to test this. Note that there is currently no technical reason to forbid type name patterns from member names, or member name patterns from types, since the two are not in the same namespace in C and won't collide; but it's not worth adding positive tests of these corner cases at this time, especially while there is other churn pending in patches that rearrange which collisions actually happen.
