This patch adds a new 'coroutine' flag to QMP command definitions that
tells the QMP dispatcher that the command handler is safe to be run in a
coroutine.
The documentation of the new flag pretends that this flag is already
used as intended, which it isn't yet after this patch. We'll implement
this in another patch in this series.

Add a test of the rST output from the QAPI doc-comment generator,
similar to what we currently have that tests the Texinfo output.
This is a bit more awkward with Sphinx, because the generated output
is not 100% under our control the way the QAPI-to-Texinfo generator
was. We can't observe the data we generate, only the Sphinx
output. Two issues.
One, the output can vary with the Sphinx version. In practice Sphinx's
plaintext output generation has been identical between at least Sphinx
1.6 and 3.0, so we use that. (The HTML output has had changes across
versions). We use an exact-match comparison check, with the
understanding that perhaps changes in a future Sphinx version might
require us to implement something more clever to cope with variation
in the output.
Two, the test can only protect us from changes in the data we generate
that are visible in plain text.

[Commit message improved]

doc-good.json currently uses the old *strong* and _emphasis_ markup.
As part of the conversion to rST this needs to switch to **strong**
and *emphasis*, because rST uses underscores as part of its markup
of hyperlinks and will otherwise warn about the syntax error.
In commit a660eed482 we fixed up the in-tree uses of the
old markup:
1) _this_ was replaced with *this*
2) the only in-tree use of *this* was left alone (turning
a 'strong' into an 'emphasis')
(and so currently in-tree nothing is using either new-style
**strong** or old-style _emphasis_).
Update doc-good.json in a similar way:
1) replace _this_ with *this*
2) remove the usage of old-style *this*
(This slightly reduces the coverage for the old Texinfo generator,
which is about to go away, but is fine for the new rST generator
because that does not need to handle strong/emphasis itself because
it is simply passing the entire text as raw rST to Sphinx.)

Make the handling of indentation in doc comments more sophisticated,
so that when we see a section like:
Notes: some text
some more text
indented line 3
we save it for the doc-comment processing code as:
some text
some more text
indented line 3
and when we see a section with the heading on its own line:
Notes:
some text
some more text
indented text
we also accept that and save it in the same form.
If we detect that the comment document text is not indented as much
as we expect it to be, we throw a parse error. (We don't complain
about over-indented sections, because for rST this can be legitimate
markup.)
The golden reference for the doc comment text is updated to remove
the two 'wrong' indents; these now form a test case that we correctly
stripped leading whitespace from an indented multi-line argument
definition.
We update the documentation in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt to
describe the new indentation rules.

[Whitespace between sentences tweaked]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
As we accumulate lines from doc comments when parsing the JSON, the
QAPIDoc class generally strips leading and trailing whitespace using
line.strip() when it calls _append_freeform(). This is fine for
Texinfo, but for rST leading whitespace is significant. We'd like to
move to having the text in doc comments be rST format rather than a
custom syntax, so move the removal of leading whitespace from the
QAPIDoc class to the texinfo-specific processing code in
texi_format() in qapi/doc.py.
(Trailing whitespace will always be stripped by the rstrip() in
Section::append regardless.)
In a followup commit we will make the whitespace in the lines of doc
comment sections more consistently follow the input source.
There is no change to the generated .texi files before and after this
commit.
Because the qapi-schema test checks the exact values of the
documentation comments against a reference, we need to update that
reference to match the new whitespace. In the first four places this
is now correctly checking that we did put in the amount of whitespace
to pass a rST-formatted list to the backend; in the last two places
the extra whitespace is 'wrong' and will go away again in the
following commit.

doc-good.json tests doc comment parser corner cases. We're about to
largely replace it by a Sphinx extension, which will have different
corner cases. Tweak the test so it passes both with the old parser
and the Sphinx extension, by making it match the more restrictive
rST syntax:
* in a single list the bullet types must all match
* lists must have leading and following blank lines
* the rules on when and where indentation matters differ
* the '|' example syntax is going to go away entirely, so stop
testing it

Our current QAPI doc-comment markup allows section headers (introduced
with a leading '=' or '==') anywhere in a free-form documentation
comment. This works for Texinfo because the generator simply prints a
Texinfo section command at that point in the output stream. For rST
generation, since we're assembling a tree of docutils nodes, this is
awkward because a new section implies starting a new section node at
the top level of the tree and generating text into there.
Make section headers start a new free-form documentation block, so the
future rST document generator doesn't have to look at every line in
free-form blocks and handle headings in odd places.
This change makes no difference to the generated Texinfo.

Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and

When a command's 'data' is an object, its doc comment describes the
arguments defined there. When 'data' names a type, the doc comment
does not describe arguments. Instead, the doc generator inserts a
pointer to the named type.
An event's doc comment works the same.
We don't actually check doc comments for commands and events.
Instead, QAPISchema._def_command() forwards the doc comment to the
implicit argument type, where it gets checked. Works because the
check only cares for the implicit argument type's members.
Not only is this needlessly hard to understand, it actually falls
apart in two cases:
* When 'data' is empty, there is nothing to forward to, and the doc
comment remains unchecked. Demonstrated by test doc-bad-event-arg.
* When 'data' names a type, we can't forward, as the type has its own
doc comment. The command or event's doc comment remains unchecked.
Demonstrated by test doc-bad-boxed-command-arg.
The forwarding goes back to commit 069fb5b250 "qapi: Prepare for
requiring more complete documentation", put to use in commit
816a57cd6e "qapi: Fix detection of bogus member documentation". That
fix was incomplete.

[Add "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-" lines]
"make check-qapi-schema" takes around 10s user + system time for me.
With -j, it takes a bit over 3s real time. We have worse tests. It's
still annoying when you work on the QAPI generator.
Some 1.4s user + system time is consumed by make figuring out what to
do, measured by making a target that does nothing. There's nothing I
can do about that right now. But let's see what we can do about the
other 8s.
Almost 7s are spent running test-qapi.py for every test case, the rest
normalizing and diffing test-qapi.py output. We have 190 test cases.
If I downgrade to python2, it's 4.5s, but python2 is a goner.
Hacking up test-qapi.py to exit(0) without doing anything makes it
only marginally faster. The problem is Python startup overhead.
Our configure puts -B into $(PYTHON). Running without -B is faster:
4.4s.
We could improve the Makefile to run test cases only when the test
case or the generator changed. But I'm after improvement in the case
where the generator changed.
test-qapi.py is designed to be the simplest possible building block
for a shell script to do the complete job (it's actually a Makefile,
not a shell script; no real difference). Python is just not meant for
that. It's for bigger blocks.
Move the post-processing and diffing into test-qapi.py, and make it
capable of testing multiple schema files. Set executable bits while
there.
Running it once per test case now takes slightly longer than 8s. But
running it once for all of them takes under 0.2s.
Messing with the Makefile to run it only on the tests that need
retesting is clearly not worth the bother.
Expected error output changes because the new normalization strips off
$(SRCDIR)/tests/qapi-schema/ instead of just $(SRCDIR)/.
The .exit files go away, because there is no exit status to test
anymore.

When we introduced the QAPISchema intermediate representation (commit
ac88219a6c), we took a shortcut: we left check_exprs() & friends
alone instead of moving semantic checks into the
QAPISchemaFOO.check(). The .check() assert check_exprs() did its job.
Time to finish the conversion job. Move exactly the context-sensitive
checks to the .check(). They replace assertions there. Context-free
checks stay put.
Fixes the misleading optional tag error demonstrated by test
flat-union-optional-discriminator.
A few other error message improve.

The checks for reserved names are spread far and wide. Move one from
add_name() to new check_defn_name_str(). This is a first step towards
collecting them all in dedicated name checking functions next to
check_name().
While there, drop the quotes around the meta-type in
check_name_str()'s error messages: "'command' uses ... name 'NAME'"
becomes "command uses ... name 'NAME'".

The special "does not allow optional name" error is well meant, but
confusing in practice. Drop it.

Split check_name() into check_name_is_str() and check_name_str(), keep
check_name() as a wrapper.
Move add_name()'s call into its caller check_exprs(), and inline.
This permits delaying check_name_str() there, so its error message
gains an "in definition" line.

We report name clashes like this:
struct-base-clash.json: In struct 'Sub':
struct-base-clash.json:5: 'name' (member of Sub) collides with 'name' (member of Base)
The "(member of Sub)" is redundant with "In struct 'Sub'". Comes from
QAPISchemaMember.describe(). Pass info to it, so it can detect the
redundancy and avoid it. Result:
struct-base-clash.json: In struct 'Sub':
struct-base-clash.json:5: member 'name' collides with member 'name' of type 'Base'

Starting error messages with a capital letter complicates things when
text can get interpolated both at the beginning and in the middle of
an error message. The next patch will do that. Switch to lower case
to keep it simpler.
For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards advise the message
"should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name
and/or file name, because that isn’t the beginning of a sentence. (The
sentence conceptually starts at the beginning of the line.)"
While there, avoid breaking lines containing multiple arguments in the
middle of an argument.
