This adds a special meaning for 'help' and '?' as options to the keyval
parser. Instead of being an error (because of a missing value) or a
value for an implied key, they now request help, which is a new boolean
output of the parser in addition to the QDict.
A new parameter 'p_help' is added to keyval_parse() that contains on
return whether help was requested. If NULL is passed, requesting help
results in an error and all other cases work like before.
Turning previous error cases into help is a compatible extension. The
behaviour potentially changes for implied keys: They could previously
get 'help' as their value, which is now interpreted as requesting help.
This is not a problem in practice because 'help' and '?' are not a valid
values for the implied key of any option parsed with keyval_parse():
* audiodev: union Audiodev, implied key "driver" is enum AudiodevDriver,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* display: union DisplayOptions, implied key "type" is enum
DisplayType, "help" and "?" are not among its values
* blockdev: union BlockdevOptions, implied key "driver is enum
BlockdevDriver, "help" and "?" are not among its values
* export: union BlockExport, implied key "type" is enum BlockExportType,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* monitor: struct MonitorOptions, implied key "mode" is enum MonitorMode,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* nbd-server: struct NbdServerOptions, no implied key.

The previous commit demonstrated documentation and code disagree on
parsing of ',' in the value of an implied key. Fix the code to match
the documentation.
This breaks uses of keyval_parse() that pass an implied key and accept
a value containing ','. None of the existing uses does:
* audiodev: implied key "driver" is enum AudiodevDriver, none of the
values contains ','
* display: implied key "type" is enum DisplayType, none of the values
contains ','
* blockdev: implied key "driver is enum BlockdevDriver, none of the
values contains ','
* export: implied key "type" is enum BlockExportType, none of the
values contains ','
* monitor: implied key "mode" is enum MonitorMode, none of the values
contains ','
* nbd-server: no implied key.

Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * as well as its
subtypes, we can have macros qobject_ref() / qobject_unref() that work
everywhere instead of having to use QINCREF() / QDECREF() for QObject
and qobject_incref() / qobject_decref() for its subtypes.
The replacement is mechanical, except I broke a long line, and added a
cast in monitor_qmp_cleanup_req_queue_locked(). Unlike
qobject_decref(), qobject_unref() doesn't accept void *.
Note that the new macros evaluate their argument exactly once, thus no
need to shout them.

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.

Additionally permit non-negative integers as key components. A
dictionary's keys must either be all integers or none. If all keys
are integers, convert the dictionary to a list. The set of keys must
be [0,N].
Examples:
* list.1=goner,list.0=null,list.1=eins,list.2=zwei
is equivalent to JSON [ "null", "eins", "zwei" ]
* a.b.c=1,a.b.0=2
is inconsistent: a.b.c clashes with a.b.0
* list.0=null,list.2=eins,list.2=zwei
has a hole: list.1 is missing
Similar design flaw as for objects: there is no way to denote an empty
list. While interpreting "key absent" as empty list seems natural
(removing a list member from the input string works when there are
multiple ones, so why not when there's just one), it doesn't work:
"key absent" already means "optional list absent", which isn't the
same as "empty list present".
Update the keyval object visitor to use this a.0 syntax in error
messages rather than the usual a[0].

Until now, key components are separated by '.'. This leaves little
room for evolving the syntax, and is incompatible with the __RFQDN_
prefix convention for downstream extensions.
Since key components will be commonly used as QAPI member names by the
QObject input visitor, we can just as well borrow the QAPI naming
rules here: letters, digits, hyphen and period starting with a letter,
with an optional __RFQDN_ prefix for downstream extensions.

keyval_parse() parses KEY=VALUE,... into a QDict. Works like
qemu_opts_parse(), except:
* Returns a QDict instead of a QemuOpts (d'oh).
* Supports nesting, unlike QemuOpts: a KEY is split into key
fragments at '.' (dotted key convention; the block layer does
something similar on top of QemuOpts). The key fragments are QDict
keys, and the last one's value is updated to VALUE.
* Each key fragment may be up to 127 bytes long. qemu_opts_parse()
limits the entire key to 127 bytes.
* Overlong key fragments are rejected. qemu_opts_parse() silently
truncates them.
* Empty key fragments are rejected. qemu_opts_parse() happily
accepts empty keys.
* It does not store the returned value. qemu_opts_parse() stores it
in the QemuOptsList.
* It does not treat parameter "id" specially. qemu_opts_parse()
ignores all but the first "id", and fails when its value isn't
id_wellformed(), or duplicate (a QemuOpts with the same ID is
already stored). It also screws up when a value contains ",id=".
* Implied value is not supported. qemu_opts_parse() desugars "foo" to
"foo=on", and "nofoo" to "foo=off".
* An implied key's value can't be empty, and can't contain ','.
I intend to grow this into a saner replacement for QemuOpts. It'll
take time, though.
Note: keyval_parse() provides no way to do lists, and its key syntax
is incompatible with the __RFQDN_ prefix convention for downstream
extensions, because it blindly splits at '.', even in __RFQDN_. Both
issues will be addressed later in the series.
