importlib.metadata is just as good as distlib.database and a bit more
battle-proven for "egg" based distributions, and in fact that is exactly
why mkvenv.py is not using distlib.database to find entry points: it
simply does not work for eggs.
The only disadvantage of importlib.metadata is that it is not available
by default before Python 3.8, so we need a fallback to pkg_resources
(again, just like for the case of finding entry points). Do so to
fix issues where incorrect egg metadata results in a JSONDecodeError.
While at it, reuse the new _get_version function to diagnose an incorrect
version of the package even if importlib.metadata is not available.

This version allows cleanups in modinfo collection, but they only
work with Ninja 1.9.x and 1.8.x is still supported. It also supports the
equivalent of QEMU's --static option to configure.
The wheel file is bumped to 0.63.3, the last release in the 0.63 branch.

This is a teeny-tiny script that just downloads any packages we want to
vendor from PyPI and stores them in qemu.git/python/wheels/. If I'm hit
by a meteor, it'll be easy to replicate what I have done in order to
udpate the vendored source.
We don't really care which python runs it; it exists as a meta-utility
with no external dependencies and we won't package or install it. It
will be monitored by the linters/type checkers, though; so it's
guaranteed safe on python 3.6+.

This is a workaround intended for Debian 10, where the debian-patched
pip does not function correctly if accessed from within a virtual
environment.
We don't support Debian 10 as a build platform any longer, though we do
still utilize it for our build-tricore-softmmu CI test. It's also
possible that this bug might appear on other derivative platforms and
this workaround may prove useful.

distlib is usually not installed on Linux distribution, but it is vendored
into pip. Because the virtual environment has pip via ensurepip, we
can piggy-back on pip's vendored version. This could break if they move
our cheese in the future, but the fix would be simply to require distlib.
If it is debundled, as it is on msys, it is simply available directly.

When creating a virtual environment that inherits system packages,
script entry points (like "meson", "sphinx-build", etc) are not
re-generated with the correct shebang. When you are *inside* of the
venv, this is not a problem, but if you are *outside* of it, you will
not have a script that engages the virtual environment appropriately.
Add a mechanism that generates new entry points for pre-existing
packages so that we can use these scripts to run "meson",
"sphinx-build", "pip", unambiguously inside the venv.

This is a routine that is designed to print some usable info for human
beings back out to the terminal if/when "mkvenv ensure" fails to locate
or install a package during configure time, such as meson or sphinx.
Since we are requiring that "meson" and "sphinx" are installed to the
same Python environment as QEMU is configured to build with, this can
produce some surprising failures when things are mismatched. This method
is here to try and ease that sting by offering some actionable
diagnosis.

This command is to be used to add various packages (or ensure they're
already present) into the configure-provided venv in a modular fashion.
Examples:
mkvenv ensure --online --dir "${source_dir}/python/wheels/" "meson>=0.61.5"
mkvenv ensure --online "sphinx>=1.6.0"
mkvenv ensure "qemu.qmp==0.0.2"
It's designed to look for packages in three places, in order:
(1) In system packages, if the version installed is already good
enough. This way your distribution-provided meson, sphinx, etc are
always used as first preference.
(2) In a vendored packages directory. Here I am suggesting
qemu.git/python/wheels/ as that directory. This is intended to serve as
a replacement for vendoring the meson source for QEMU tarballs. It is
also highly likely to be extremely useful for packaging the "qemu.qmp"
package in source distributions for platforms that do not yet package
qemu.qmp separately.
(3) Online, via PyPI, ***only when "--online" is passed***. This is only
ever used as a fallback if the first two sources do not have an
appropriate package that meets the requirement. The ability to build
QEMU and run tests *completely offline* is not impinged.

[Use distlib to lookup distributions. - Paolo]

Python virtual environments do not typically nest; they may inherit from
the top-level system packages or not at all.
For our purposes, it would be convenient to emulate "nested" virtual
environments to allow callers of the configure script to install
specific versions of python utilities in order to test build system
features, utility version compatibility, etc.
While it is possible to install packages into the system environment
(say, by using the --user flag), it's nicer to install test packages
into a totally isolated environment instead.
As detailed in https://www.qemu.org/2023/03/24/python/, Emulate a nested
venv environment by using .pth files installed into the site-packages
folder that points to the parent environment when appropriate.

This script will be responsible for building a lightweight Python
virtual environment at configure time. It works with Python 3.6 or
newer.
It has been designed to:
- work *offline*, no PyPI required.
- work *quickly*, The fast path is only ~65ms on my machine.
- work *robustly*, with multiple fallbacks to keep things working.
- work *cooperatively*, using system packages where possible.
(You can use your distro's meson, no problem.)
Due to its unique position in the build chain, it exists outside of the
installable python packages in-tree and *must* be runnable without any
third party dependencies.
Under normal circumstances, the only dependency required to execute this
script is Python 3.6+ itself. The script is *faster* by several seconds
when setuptools and pip are installed in the host environment, which is
probably the case for a typical multi-purpose developer workstation.
In the event that pip/setuptools are missing or not usable, additional
dependencies may be required on some distributions which remove certain
Python stdlib modules to package them separately:
- Debian may require python3-venv to provide "ensurepip"
- NetBSD may require py310-expat to provide "pyexpat" *
(* Or whichever version is current for NetBSD.)
